Hardiman may have the inside track.
IF by change he's elected even better.
But it's likely the first pick won't survive so go extreme and when they're dismissed bring in someone they can't refuse.
Amul Thapar, 49, once a U.S. attorney in Kentucky, is a favorite of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
********************************************
Any “favorite” of McConnell is an automatic “NO, HELL NO” for me.
The left can’t refuse if Mitch plays it right. We have 51 with Pence and red state Dems in several elections. Go extreme stay that way.
Too many women on the court now. Look how they all vote.
DREAM ON.
Not a chance in hell. He’s a NeverTrumper.
Thomas Hardiman, 52, of Pittsburgh, is on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, along with Trump’s sister, senior judge Maryanne Trump Barry. Hardiman came in second when the president chose Neil Gorsuch for the Scalia seat. Trump was known to think highly of Hardiman and to consider him a possibility for the next vacancy.
What has changed? Oh, Gorsuch no longer a choice. That’s what.
I like Barrett as she recently passed senate confirmation. She was challenged by Feinstein for her Roman Catholic beliefs and Barrett handled her deftly.....
Whoever it is must be cleaner than Roy Moore.
Newsmax has a longer list more info. Info on the list that is the same list as President Trump used to pick his last USSC justice
