Add another judge who would meet President Trump's litmus tests for judicial temperament and judgment on the U.S. Supreme Court. Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Michael Eakin retired after facing an ethics trial stemming from tawdry emails he sent from his office computer. Good news for Trump: Eakin is a Republican (but note, a Democratic Justice was also brought down by this scandal). Better yet for Trump, Eakin exchanged emails of naked women, sexually suggestive themes, gender and socioeconomic stereotypes, and content that was anti-gay and made light of violence toward women. The only knock on Eakin is that he has apologized-- tearfully-- for his misconduct. That might hurt his chances for President Trump's nomination.
