Donald doesn't like Barrett anymore, maybe Thomas, too [1]

I was going to skip editorializing this Truth Social post because it was supposed to be just about Whitney Hermandorfer being nominated by Trump to the Court of Appeals of the Sixth Circuit. Then I noticed something at the end.
Hermandorfer is a Federalist Society pick. It's a big leap to just being a litigation attorney in the Tennessee Attorney General's office to being a Justice on the Court of Appeals. That Federalist Society endorsement is what made it possible.
Her qualifications for the office are great. Captain of the women's basketball team at Princeton. She wants to keep trans out of women's sports. That's it.
And then he hit the end paragraph.
"She has a long history of working for Judges and Justices who respect the RULE OF LAW..."
She has no history of working for judges and justices. She's a lawyer in the Attorney General's office. Dey don't do dat dere.
"... including Justice Samuel Alito and two fine Supreme Court Justices I appointed in my first term."
There were three justices you appointed. It's obvious that you're taking a swipe at Amy Coney Barrett. She's started crossing you recently. Actually ruling for the rule of law, which you have no concept of. Gorsuch is really the only one that's truly faithful. Kavanaugh has also voted against you on occasion.
The three liberal justices are left out just because you had nothing to do with their appointments to the bench. Chief Justice Roberts is also missing, but also one that Trump had no part in appointing.
But, Trump mentions Alito, who he also had no part in getting to the Supreme Court. But he leaves out his most loyalist Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas.
Why Alito, and not Thomas? Alito has had some financial scandals, but Thomas is the greatest offender in taking bribes. There can't be any other word for the gifts that he has taken. Is it because he is the most soiled of the Justices?
I could be reading too much into it in the case of Thomas. But leaving out Amy Coney Barrett is patently obvious.
I almost want to say that Trump will call for Amy Coney Barrett's impeachment. But, he would go after the liberal Justices first. It just seems that he thinks he's been betrayed by Barrett. And he's not the only one. MAGA has taken note of her decisions that ruled against Trump.
Knowing Trump, he'd dox her first, or leave it to one of his rabid followers, if they haven't already done so.
