We’re sure by now most of the media and the leftist blogosphere have already written their hit pieces on the three most likely nominees to the Supreme Court and are just waiting on which one to run.
One name that’s not on the short list — but should be — was tossed into the ring by Sen. Ted Cruz Monday afternoon, just as #SCOTUSPick hype was reaching its hottest point.
I'm told Mike Lee has been spotted flying to Washington today….

A lot of senators are flying to Washington today. If this is a hint that Mike Lee is Trump's pick for Supreme Court, and that proves true, then we've heard a ton of fake news the last week about who made the short list. https://t.co/sGU3n5m9UD
