Nope. There is no tradition of us senators going to the supreme court.

Lee will not be nominated i predict.

Lee has never been a Judge and he was and is a never Trumper.

Pick a Judge

Lee is not a viable candidate for this vacancy precisely because his views on abortion are well known (and FTR I fully agree with them). Thanks to what has been fittingly described as our “own goal” in Alabama we have a Senate majority of exactly 1. That means we can afford to lose only one vote. But there are two GOP Senators (both women) who are at least moderately pro-abortion. I doubt either would vote for a candidate who was openly declared to support overturning Roe. Whoever is nominated to fill this particular seat must be someone who, whatever they may have said privately, is not on record on this subject. Political pragmatism sometimes is uncomfortable but we need to give them both some plausible deniability in exchange for what will likely be difficult votes.

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

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
