Here’s video of President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, appearing to mock Donald Trump at a moot court competition at Yale University in the fall of 2012:
“Does your theory depend on the fact that this proposition you think is reasonable?” Garland asks a law student at the competition. “What if Donald Trump became the secretary of state of Arizona and insisted there’s only one way you can prove citizenship, and that’s with your long-form birth certificate?”
The crowd snickered.
Garland went on, “You would still say that that rules, right?”
Merrick Garland was nominated to the Supreme Court yesterday by President Obama.
The video comes from when Garland was on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and Donald Trump was a private citizen. Now both have far more public positions.
Then Trump, of course, publicly agitated for President Obama to release his birth certificate.
