Barr and Supreme Court

This is just speculation on my part, but William Barr may be sucking up to Trump in order to secure a place on the Supreme Court if an opening should avail itself. For me, Barr is nothing more than Robert Bork from the Watergate days. And I do believe he will try to frustrate efforts on the criminal investigations of the Southern District of New York on Trump's behalf. 'Just some thoughts is all.

He is 68 years old. Trump and the GOP are not going to waste a pick on someone that old. They already have a shortlist ready to go for the next opening and I guarantee everyone on that list is in their 40s or 50s. They aren't going to seat anyone who can't sit on that bench for 3-4 decades.
