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

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Works for me.

[billorites]

The left hates pro-life Catholics.

So it works for me.

[Caipirabob]

Racism! Oh, you meant “intelligent thoughts” and I have been reading lefttard twitter posts.

She will be a superb justice and be a fine achievement on the long list of President Trumps historical 12 year presidency.😬👍🇺🇸

[Michael.SF.]

I think it to be more of a consensus than a rumor.

[Psalm 73]

The Senate just confirmed her in 2017 - pretty-much the same Senate - how can they think she's OK two years ago, and not qualified now?

Also, the left can't walk and chew gum at the same time, don't think there is enough time to mount a significant challenge.

[Shadow44]

I hear her and Barbara Lagoa are the top two. I don't know much about them other than the lines of attack the left is starting to take on both of them. They're painting Barrett as a religious fanatic and that Lagoa is corrupt because her father-in-law is the district judge who sentence Jack Abramoff.

Does anyone know what their records are like?

[cnsmom]

I’m so glad she is a strong person of faith. The Left fears faithful people.

[workerbee]

how can they think she's OK two years ago, and not qualified now

Rhetorical question?

[AppyPappy]

Democrat tradition holds that Republican women are either crazy or stupid.

[lodi90]

The “front runner” rarely gets these things. So Barrett being the pick would surprise me.

The woman from FL scares me. Thin resume and looks a climber to me. I really hope we don’t get another nasty surprise that turns into another “wise latina”.

[GonzoII]

Wouldn’t be happier!😊👍

[Sacajaweau]

They confirmed her along party lines though three Dems crossed over. They sure won’t this time.

[Sacajaweau]

Lagoa....Not enough history on her as far as I can tell.

[Sacajaweau]

Dems didn’t confirm her then and they won’t now. Three Dems did cross over.

[Antioch]

In case anyone thinks Amy will have an easier time than Kavanaugh because she’s a woman and a mother, I found this Daily Mail hit piece which lays out the commie angle they will play:

“Trump’s Supreme Court frontrunners: A mother of seven who adopted two children from Haiti and belongs to a Christian sect that inspired The Handmaid’s Tale”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8751771/Trumps-frontrunners-Supreme-Court-nomination-devout-Catholic-Cuban-American-judge.html

I predict there’ll be a battalion of crazy Handmaid protestors besieging her home with bullhorns if she’s the nominee.

[albie]

“Controversial”?! Sure. To an America hating democrat. Otherwise what could be a better response than, perfect?

[HamiltonJay]

Nothing surprising here, she’s been at the top of the list for a long time.. with the scuttlebutt being the reason Kavanaugh was nominated over her was to keep her in reserve for when Trump replaces a female Judge.

Now I have no inside knowledge to back that up, but that has been rumored publicly for a while.

[Hojczyk]

She went thru the process in 2017 for district court..all the information is out there...quicker
