Trump announces WH dinner for Supreme Court justices, then hours later postpones it indefinitely

Trump announces WH dinner for Supreme Court justices — then hours later postpones it indefinitely

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/04/trump-announces-wh-dinner-for-supreme-court-justices-then-hours-later-postpones-it-indefinitely/

The White House on Sunday announced that it would host a dinner on Thursday for the nine justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, then, according to TheHill.com, abruptly announced that due to scheduling conflicts, the dinner would have to be postponed indefinitely.

ABC’s Jonathan Karl said on Twitter Sunday afternoon that the “highly unusual” dinner would take place Thursday night.

“This is highly unusual — President will have dinner with the Justices of the Supreme Court on Thursday, according to the White House,” he tweeted.

Then, Sunday evening, the Hill said, the White House said the dinner would have to be rescheduled to an undetermined later date.

Getting all 9 of them to be free on short notice is rather impossible. This sounds to me as if he just assumed they would be able to (or want to) attend his dinner party.

I wish someone would do the world a favor and tell him what caused the French Revolution.

the SCOTUS justices, especially after that disastrous, word salad-filled debacle of an interview today.

His incompetence/early dementia would be easily seen by the justices and things could cascade from there with discreet calls to House and Senate leaders that action needs to be taken.

IMO the only reason she is in the White House is to look after trump.
