That is yet another in a long line of positions that completely disqualifies him from holding public office.
A great new podcast on this exact topic:

Radiolab Presents: More Perfect and listen to the episode named "The Political Thicket".

The podcast covers Supreme Court decisions, the episode above focuses on one of the paramount cases that the U.S. Supreme Court struggled with if they should or should not weigh in on a decision with political implications because the U.S. judiciary was never supposed to be politicized from the onset.

Just a really interesting podcast.
