Want to be a federal judge? You might have to account for your prior tweets. At least that was the message from Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee when questioning Don Willett, a Texas Supreme Court justice and self-proclaimed “Tweeter Laureate of Texas,” for his appointment to the federal appellate court. Willett’s tweets are funny, pithy and often involve his kids or the virtues of civic duty. They were also the subject of intense questioning at Willett’s confirmation hearing.

Scrolling through Willett’s Twitter feed reveals a plethora of dad jokes, amusing puns and civic-minded messages. His top “pinned” tweet is a series of images of the sun setting with a basketball hoop in the foreground, making it look like the sun is the ball going into the basket, along with Willett’s tweet, “God. Got. Game.” In September, he retweeted a video of Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell knocking over a fan’s nachos by mistake and wrote, “If fan had sued Russell, fan would recover nothing. Under tortilla reform, you don’t pay if it’s nacho fault.”

Who better to be a Trump nominee than the Tweeter Laureate of Texas.

In all seriousness, Willet would be a fine choice. He’s young, non-ivy league educated, comes from a blue-collar background, and is a strong conservative.
