The Next SC Justice? Don Willett
Say howdy to "probably the tweetingest judge in America, which, admittedly, is like being the tallest Munchkin in Oz." That's how Texas native Judge Don Willett describes himself on -- what else? -- Twitter.
His social media meditations on hamburger buns, legal precedent, and even President Donald Trump, have gained him an unusually high public profile, and perhaps because of this -- or more likely in spite of -- he's become a White House favorite to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court.
The 52-year-old resident of Austin sits on the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, having been nominated to the post last year by Trump after service on the state’s high court. He is one of 24 judges -- plus Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah -- on a list Trump has promised to rely on to fill the current Supreme Court vacancy.
