President Donald J. Trump Announces Five Additions to Supreme Court List

One year ago, President Donald J. Trump was elected to restore the rule of law and to Make the Judiciary Great Again. Following the successful confirmation of Justice Neil M. Gorsuch to the Supreme Court of the United States and the nomination of more than seventy Federal judges—including five individuals from his Supreme Court list—President Trump today announced that he is refreshing his Supreme Court list with five additional judges. President Trump will choose a nominee for a future Supreme Court vacancy, should one arise, from this updated list of 25 individuals. The President remains deeply committed to identifying and selecting outstanding jurists in the mold of Justice Gorsuch. These additions, like those on the original list released more than a year ago, were selected with input from respected conservative leaders.

Amy Coney Barrett is a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Prior to her appointment in 2017, Judge Barrett was the Diane and M.O. Miller, II Research Chair in Law and Professor of Law at Notre Dame Law School. Judge Barrett also served as a law clerk to Justice Antonin Scalia of the Supreme Court of the United States and to Judge Laurence H. Silberman of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Judge Barrett is a magna cum laude graduate of Rhodes College and a summa cum laude graduate of Notre Dame Law School.

Britt C. Grant is a Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia. Prior to her appointment in 2017, Justice Grant served as the Solicitor General of the State of Georgia and as a partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP. Justice Grant served as law clerk to Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, is a summa cum laude graduate of Wake Forest University, and graduated with distinction from Stanford Law School.

Brett M. Kavanaugh is a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Before his appointment in 2006, Judge Kavanaugh was a partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, served as Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary, and was a lawyer in the White House Counsel’s Office and in the Solicitor General’s Office. Judge Kavanaugh also served as a law clerk to Justice Anthony M. Kennedy of the Supreme Court of the United States, to Judge Alex Kozinski of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and to Judge Walter K. Stapleton of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Judge Kavanaugh is a cum laude graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School.

Kevin C. Newsom is a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Prior to his appointment in 2017, he was a partner and chair of the appellate practice group at Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP. He previously served as the Solicitor General of the State of Alabama. Judge Newsom also served as a law clerk to Justice David H. Souter of the Supreme Court of the United States and to Judge Diarmuid F. O’Scannlain of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Judge Newsom is a summa cum laude graduate of Samford University and a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School.

Patrick Wyrick is a Justice of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma. Prior to his appointment in 2017, he served for six years as the Solicitor General of the State of Oklahoma. He also served as a law clerk to Judge James H. Payne of the United States District Courts for the Eastern and Northern Districts of Oklahoma. Justice Wyrick graduated from the University of Oklahoma and from the University of Oklahoma School of Law with distinction.

Remember the scripture where a Israel city was besieged by a large Syrian army and then overnight the Lord sent an angel and the next day 187,000 of them didnt wake up?

It would be a marvel move of God if all of a sudden these Liberal 'judges' on the supreme court were to meet a unexpected demise and Mr Trump's people would be their replacements.

I told my wife the other day that Trump is draining the swamp regarding all these sexual dalliances everywhere. She said Trump is in that swamp. Not wanting to get into an argument with her, I really did want to say that God uses His men in His ways.

This country has been given a real breather with POTUS DJT. I am not sure why, but Gos had done this.

Along with Supreme Court Justices, whose impact will be felt for 30-50 years or so; there is an article out today about how POTUS DJT is the most pro-life president we have ever had.

A true “marvel move of God” that has occurred and is occurring.

Best election EVAH!!

Rumor floating around DC legal circles the last couple weeks that Kennedy has already told the White house privately that he is going to announce his retirement over the courts Christmas recess, (effective at the end of the current term in June.) This somewhat unusual announcement makes it sound like there might be some truth to the rumors. President Trump wants all his ducks in a row to get a replacement confirmed as quickly as possible, just in case Republicans do lose the senate next fall.

Granny Ginsburg has been dead for months. They just prop her up and spray her with Febreze every day.

This is also the reason that the left has gone Nuclear in the Alabama Senate race. They think if they can peel off another Republican seat, it will give cover to Collins, McCain, and Murkowski to block any Justice that isn’t a supporter of Roe v. Wade.

We have a 5-4 pro-Roe majority on the Court. Replacing Kennedy with a conservative would switch that.

Collins and Murkowski were willing to support Gorsuch because it was replacing a Conservative for a Conservative.

Those two hags are femi-nazis above all else, and they will NOT support a Conservative replacing a liberal like Kennedy.

With a 52-48 Senate, Pence can break the tie if Murkowski and Collins flip. If we lose the Alabama Senate seat, Pence won’t be able to.

Exactly! This will drive the left absolutely crazy. I saw this release from the White House earlier and liked a couple names, but, since, apparently, FOX has also had some comment to this effect with others claiming post-Thanksgiving resignation by Kennedy! That would give plenty of time for confirmation and avoid period with only six justices, something Kennedy would do. This would hopefully position Roberts as the "centrist" vote with somebody like Kavanaugh on the bench :)

I was pleased to see Kavanaugh but even more anxious to learn more about Amy Coney Barrett, Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

1) She's on Trump's list

2) Judge Barrett also served as a law clerk to Justice Antonin Scalia. BINGO! :)

“Taylor said that God told him “there are going to be five Supreme Court justices that Donald Trump is going to put into place” after one dies, one retires and “three will have to be removed because of the scandal that they have been caught in.”

Taylor said that the death of Justice Antonin Scalia fulfilled the first part of this prophecy and that God then reserved the filling of his seat on the court for Trump. The retirement of the next justice is “imminent,” he said, and then three more will be removed because of scandal.”

One of the people named is Brett M. Kavanaugh. After Miguel Rodriguez resigned from leading Kenneth Starr’s investigation of the death of Vincent Foster, Kavanaugh took over that task, and presumably, wrote Starr’s report on the death. See the last paragraph in the article at https://partners.nytimes.com/library/politics/091198clinton-starr-writers.html. To help you evaluate the quality of Kavanaugh’s work on the Foster case see my article at http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/05/donald_trump_is_right_to_think_that_something_is_very_fishy_about_the_vincent_foster_death.html, and also read the memorandum by Rodriguez.

I want to see people who clerked for Scalia. Big time conservatives. Anyone who clerked for Souter clerked for a big closeted nothing.
