Health Scare Scratches Charles Manson from Trumps List of Supreme Court Picks
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)Amid reports that Charles Manson is ill, the Donald Trump transition team has removed his name from its list of potential Supreme Court nominees.
For President-elect Trump, the development was a serious setback, since Manson had reportedly topped the short list of Supreme Court picks since his name was first floated last December.
At that time, Trump said that Mansons extensive experience with the judiciary made him uniquely qualified to shake up the Supreme Court.
On CNN, on Wednesday, Trumps adviser Kellyanne Conway wished Manson a speedy recovery but acknowledged that losing him as a potential Court pick was a significant blow.
