To promote my National Review article, Donald Trump’s Constitution of One, I summarized in ten tweets why he is utterly unqualified to take the Constitutional oath.

6. Trump has no clue what #SCOTUS does. Nominee “would look very seriously at [Clinton’s] e-mail disaster.” https://t.co/YfMrS1LuMc

7. Trump has no idea what Judges do “You know who else signed that bill? Samuel Alito.” #NoBills. https://t.co/YfMrS1LuMc #SCOTUS

8. Trump doesn’t even impose correct litmus tests. “I will appoint judges that will be pro-life.” https://t.co/YfMrS1LuMc #SCOTUS

9. Like minimum wage, Trump may view #SCOTUS justices as a “floor” to “negotiate with senators and congressmen.” https://t.co/YfMrS1LuMc

10. Trump would want #SCOTUS that defers to broad federal power. Judicial minimalist, thy name is John Roberts. https://t.co/YfMrS1LuMc
