Good choice? Bad Choice? Controversial? Odds of getting a Senate vote before 3 November?

I saw people say Lagoa is the better pick because her Circuit Court confirmation got 85 votes. I can’t believe people are naïve enough to believe that would be the case if she got the SCOTUS nomination.

She is something of a liberal squish with a woke mixed-race designer family. She is all about "fambly" issues, but outside of that she appears to be something of a "compassionate" George W. Bush conservative. She is more Sandra O'Connor than Antonin Scalia. I don't trust her.

I was hoping for Ted Cruz but there is great value in keeping him in Senate

I don’t know why people want her, because she said she’s pro life? Joe is too, in his private life. So is Nancy the Catholics, in her private life. Haven’t heard an actual philosophy based reason to pick her. She’s a woman and made Feinstein upset. That seems to be her only attractive qualities. Also, she adopted from Haiti. Was every I dotted and every T crossed? What is she willing to do to make sure that any mistakes or wrong doings in that process don’t come out?

In a perfect world yes, but we have a political war to win.

A conservative of course. First in line a black women, second a Hispanic women and third a Caucasian women.

That means that Dems like what they heard....and that doesn’t spell “conservative”. Personally, I think she lacks experience.

Agreed, and excellent analysis, when Trump confirmed that a FEMALE was going to be nominated he stopped short of announcing her by name but unless he has another female at the TOP of his short list it looks like Amy will get the nod and likely will get confirmed.

The Left hates mothers period. They want to control every part of parenting. How to conceive to feeding to, working, school, where to live, religion, etc. The Left started programming and dividing mothers from pre birth classes to post birth feeding home visits.ACB is probably well aware of the feminist hatred towards motherhood.

Welcome aboard. Your first post a vanity article but at least
you did well IMO by providing a lot of data. Have a good day.

She’s a good choice for a Ginsburg replacement. Has an actual record of taking right-leaning positions unlike some of the other names in the rumor mill. Of course, nothing is a guarantee, but my take is that the Supreme Court is too important to place one’s hopes on an enigma. Those have a tendency of going really bad for us after awhile. You get a year or two of very solid conservatives votes out of them as they adjust to their new role before they swing to the Left.

Anyone that President Trump nominates will be excellent.

I don’t see why it HAS to be a woman. Such thinking, disqualifying men, is no different than Biden’s thinking - a gender-centric discrimination.

I would like to see an Evangelical Christian be appointed. We are, and have been for a very long time, Catholic-heavy on this court (5 currently.) That is one reason it has swung so inexorably to the left. Two others are Jews (not including Ginsberg). The one non-catholic Protestant still has a strong Catholic background. How is that “balanced?”

>>how can they think she’s OK two years ago, and not qualified now?<<

They did not about (insert scandal from 40 years ago being invented this very moment) when they approved her 2 years ago.

85 votea is a red herring. No way is she a by the book type and got 30 Democrat votes in this environment. Remember, Mattis got almost every vote in his confirmation. How did that turn out? The two girls who have been talked about would both be bad picks as far as I can tell from the very limited information out there. Concerned that Trump has said it will be a woman. Wrong approach to this

It is customary to donate $10 to freerepublic when posting a vanity. Do so please.

Real good choice. Mentor and boss was Anthony Scalia. Identifies as Constitutionalist. Because of time constrates a woman would be best shot, if he picked a man, women would be coming out of woodwork claiming sexual harassment. Has 7 children, which include 2 from Haiti, and one with special needs.

ACB is an excellent choice and I think the pubbies will get her confirmed before the election.

I don't like Suzy Q but she has not said she will vote NO, she said she is against the vote before the election, and maybe she will just vote present.

If Loser murKOWski voices her displeasure and just votes present we still have a majority even if mittens votes no.

Remember, JP Stevens was OKed in 17 days and rbuzzyg was confirmed in 42.

Where do I complain about the cultural appropriation of the Handmaid Tale costume ... the Quakers they are slamming were abolitionist activists and early feminists.
