I mean is it illegal for a retiring Supreme Court justice to work with a sitting president to help decide his/her replacement...NO COLLUSION! NO COLLUSION! YOU'RE THE COLLUSION!
The thing about laws is, if you control the Supreme Court, you can get almost anything declared "legal". Which is probably where this whole thing is coming from. Trump is probably aware that he's violated the Emoluments Clause (and many other laws, but a constitutional violation is probably the one that will stick), and knows the question will come before the Supreme Court someday. His fate in the balance. And he knows that Kennedy will likely need to recuse himself due to the connection of his son being the only banker on earth stupid enough to loan Trump money, leaving the verdict up to "chance". Get Kennedy out, replaced with a crony and it falls more to his favor.
And there isn't one Republican with the balls to stop it. Party above country is what they are presenting outwardly, and showing no signs of any behavior that is contradictory to that.
