Christopher Draper, Richard Nixon,President calling

Christopher Draper-President Calling

In "President Nixon's telephone conversation with John Mitchell" it shows Richard Nixon plan to send a fake list of candidates from a position on the supreme court, after his first list was leaked and the public opinion though that he was picking people because of what they are and not their skill level. This shows that Nixon is willing to lie to the public, and this plan will probably fail since the list is fake no one will get picked on it, and people will notices that and Nixon will get called out on it. In "President Nixon's telephone conversation with John Mitchell" they disused William Mulligan, a candidate that is being pushed onto the president because the want for a Catholic on the supreme court. President Nixon likes the candidate since he is not from Harvard who Nixon believes is producing soft lawyers. However Nixon declines the candidate from what appears to be the fact that he did not like how the candidate was forced into him.
