Judge Who Attempted to Sanction Obama Eligibility Attorney on List of Supreme Court Nominees
The Post & Email ^ | June 27, 2018 | Sharon Rondeau

On Wednesday’s “Hannity” opening monologue, a list of judges on President Trump’s list to replace retiring Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy was presented in a fast-running backdrop. A complete list can be found here.

Kennedy’s retirement, announced earlier on Wednesday, immediately spurred discussion as to who Trump might nominate to his seat. Constitutionally, all potential cabinet members and federal court nominees must be confirmed by a majority of the U.S. Senate.

The Senate currently consists of 51 Republicans, 47 Democrats, and two Independents. In November, one-third of the chamber will face re-election or replacement.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is unlikely to cast a vote, as he has been absent from the Senate for several months due to serious illness.

At present, minus Kennedy, the Supreme Court contains what many view as four “liberal” justices and four “conservative” justices. Kennedy was often referred to as “the swing vote,” as the way he would opine on any given issue could not always be discerned in advance.

Early last year, Trump nominated Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals Justice Neil Gorsuch to the high court. Gorsuch’s seating has been touted by Trump as one of his greatest accomplishments thus far.

One of the names on the list is Sen. Mike Lee (R) of Utah, another is Thomas Hardiman, who was reportedly on Trump’s “short list” of contenders when Gorsuch was chosen.

Hardiman currently sits on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and was one of a three-judge panel which rejected as “frivolous” an appeal in a case dealing with the issue of presidential eligibility stemming from the election of Barack Hussein Obama in 2008.

The appeal, submitted by plaintiffs’ attorney Mario Apuzzo of New Jersey, consisted of a 95-page brief challenging a lower court’s finding that the question of presidential eligibility is a “political” one.

I would rather have a practiced legal mind on SCOTUS than a political one. No to Lee.

I’d go with amy if there was a way to trade her on the bench and take one of the other 3 wacko women off the bench. I don’t want 4 women on the bench. We need some more back bone in this country and typically women let too much feelings into descision making.

though maybe a 4th woman who votes opposite the other 3 may give some sleeping women a wake up call about some issues?

Once Ducey wins the Primary, McCain steps aside and his Rat wife takes his seat.

That makes perfect sense. It's a group effort in AZ, apparently.

Diane Sykes is the ex-wife of MSNBC regular and notorious Trump hater
Charlie Sykes. Here’s the a$$hole talking about Trump a couple months ago. He claims to be a “conservative” talk show host, but the only networks he’s ever on are MSNBC and CNN. Of course they have him on to always put down Trump and call him an idiot.

Yeah I know about that. I might be bothered if they were still married but the “ex-” part makes it a bit of a bonus.

"She is younger than all the others, clerked for Scalia, is a member of the Federalist Society, survived the attempts to smear her when Trump nominated her in 2017."

Also, she has done all this and still managed to have 7 children...Magnificent career...Just read her response about being slandered by the demoncrats for being a Catholic...

Amy Vivian Barrett is married to Jesse M. Barrett, an Assistant United States Attorney in the United States Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Indiana; they have seven children.[Wikipedia]

There are MANY FReepers who will not like this choice——they will feel she should be home taking care of the kids.

(I am not one of them.)

William Pryor of Alabama would be my pick. He has a long proven conservative track record. Ann Coulter would even like this pick.

Look what Phyllis Schlafly was able to accomplish with all her kids. (But personally, I think seven kids is a lot to juggle with, while having a job like Supreme Court justice.)

She’s a die hard originalist. Couldn’t find much RE her 2nd Amendment views.

No. He’s never been a judge. And frankly we don’t need a Mormon on the Supreme Court

Lee is a loose cannon. I don’t trust him and neither should Trump
