One of the names Donald Trump’s campaign floated as a potential Supreme Court pick on Wednesday has routinely poked fun at the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett was one of 11 names released by the Trump campaign on Wednesday of individuals that Trump would consider nominating to fill the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat on the court.
Willett is very active on Twitter, and has poked fun at Trump throughout his quixotic presidential run.
"We'll rebuild the Death Star. It'll be amazing, believe me. And the rebels will pay for it."

Willett has also taken the occasional shot at Trump’s electability:

He has reserved some praise for Trump’s rhetorical abilities:
Fascinating look at Trump's rhetorical style—how he says what he says.
