Maybe we expect a little too much from presidential candidates

Like, they should know how cases get to the Supreme Court?

Bernie Sanders: “Any Supreme Court nominee of mine will make overturning Citizens United one of their first decisions” – Tweet, 7:57 p.m. – 21 Jan 2016.

Angus Johnston replied: “Heads up, Sanders — an intern found your Twitter password and your liquor.”

So Sanders is elected, sworn in. Does he then get C-Span time and question Court nominees in the Oval Office? “Judge Whammer, when I announce your appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court, do you promise to immediately bring Citizens United back before the Court?”

Taking a cue from President Obama, Sanders knows he need not consider the Senate’s advise and consent. In fact, he could even decide on using five justices instead of nine to hear specific cases. Or, why not send the other eight on vacation and just have Judge Hammer decide?

Oh. One more thing. Bernie, how many is "any," as in "Any Supreme Court nominee?" I'll answer for you: "any" is "one." OK. How many is "their?" Again, I'll answer: "their" is "more than one."
