Rumor Squelched

There is a rumor Donald Trump intends to name gay Republican tech mogul Peter Thiel to the U.S. Supreme Court. You are probably safe to ignore it.

Thiel spox Jeremiah Hall wrote, in a text message to Fortune, the following:

Peter hasn’t had any conversations about a Supreme Court nomination and has no interest in the job.

The lack of conversations I don't find persuasive. However, Thiel's lack of interest should kill any such speculation. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
