Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) nearly had a panic attack on the floor of Congress Wednesday when a White House nominee for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals revealed he’d joked on social media about “marrying bacon.”
Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett is a well-known Twitter user who frequently jokes about current events and even legal cases. His social media presence is likely what put him on the White House’s list for such a plum appointment. Willett is also a solid conservative and respected judge who could integrate nicely into a higher-level appeals court.
