<><>Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals who Mr. Trump nominated last year;

<><>Judge Thomas Hardiman of the 3rd Circuit, nominated by Pres George W. Bush;

<><>Judges Amul Thapar, and,

<><> Raymond Kethledge both from the 6th Circuit.

Judge Thapar was Mr. Trump’s first circuit court nominee confirmed last year, and Judge Kethledge is a Bush-appointee.

Tea leaves. Barrett is fresh and will be hard for Democrats to turn down. She was approved with Democratic votes last year. See https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/senate-votes-to-confirm-amy-coney-barrett-to-7th-circuit-court-of-appeals

he won’t go wrong if he selects a true, bible believing, Christian.

Lord please guide the President with this selection for the USSC (and all his appointments). help him choose wisely with discernment and love for Your America. Your Will be Done on earth as it is in Heaven. I ask in Jesus’ Holy Name with thanksgiving. Amen

Hell, I’m a feminist in that I want them treated fairly, but the way they bastardize words and meanings these days.

I’m just tired of the chip on everyone’s shoulder.

No matter who he picks - the Rats will go anal.

Therefore - pick the biggest and baddest SoCon you can find.

Like some young hotshot at the Heritage Foundation or the Media Research Center.

I’m a woman and I still don’t trust a woman.

Guess I should read up on the nominees, but my first instinct is to not worry about PC.

Maybe 0% feminist now just wait until she gets on the court and the liberals rail against her. She'll suddenly become pro-abortion and anti-Second Amendment.

Senate just confirmed her. Going to be impossible for the Party of Infantile Incompetence to make a credible PR case against her with voters.

>Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals who Mr. Trump nominated last yea

Say what you will but frankly, I think we have too many women on the USSC now. Look how well that's working out.

Yep, I know that's going to be unpopular and frankly, I don't f***ing care.

I think that was Feinstein, in the Senate.

Right now I believe the USSC is 100% Catholic & Jews.

Considering the first people who came over here, that’s super weird.

My money is on either Amy Coney Barrett or Amul Thapar. They are both young and conservative and under established Democrat rules, the Democrats who automatically attack them will either be misogynists or racists.
