President Trump has five frontrunners in mind to replace Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy who announced his retirement Wednesday, according to Fox News.
The president said he would pick from a list of roughly 25 judicial nominees compiled by the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society during his campaign.

Thanks, I corrected myself further down the thread.
In ten or twelve years when the change-of-life starts, all bets are off.
He’s prepared to replace Ginsberg too!
That could be sooner rather than later.
For being a pro-abortion, pro homosexual, anti-family Catholic, wasn't it?
The only way Ginsberg is leaving while Trump is in office is feet first, but I am totally ok with that. Of course, there may be a delay of several months proving that she is dead, since the remaining far left liberals on the Court will probably play "Weekend at Bernie's" with her corpse.
I wish Trump would tweet this out (just to screw with them)...
“I’ve updated my list of SCOTUS nominees to include Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Mark Levine. Who is the youngest?”
Then, arm yourself with a self defense weapon and popcorn. LMAO.
Oh, it was Feinstein. Same difference though.
NO BUSH APPOINTEES!!!!!
I just looked up Amy Comey. Whoa! She’s good-looking! Quite a contrast to the ugly black-robed liberal hags already on the SC.
Amen. Thank you.
(but please capitalize “Bible” next time).
Tea leaves? He will select the 46 year-old babe.

I hope so. The only way she could be better would be if she was 36 years old and all her grandparents and GREAT-grandparents were still alive, healthy and voluntarily still working because it makes them happy.
The history of USSC Court Appointees has shown that women on the court are not strict constructionists, thus my statement above.
yes ma’am. and thank you.
BINGO!! Wish I could've expressed it the same way. Spot-On!!
Impressive list, but I really would like to see some justices who have other real world experience as well as the practice of law.
I’m thinking Barrett or Hardiman. Any of them would be better than Kennedy.
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.

Court demographics[edit]
Main article: Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States
The Court currently has six male and three female justices. Among the nine justices, there is one African-American (Justice Thomas) and one Hispanic (Justice Sotomayor). Two of the justices were born to at least one immigrant parent: Justice Alito’s parents were born in Italy,[96][97] and Justice Ginsburg’s father was born in Russia.[98] At least five justices are Roman Catholics and three are Jewish; it is unclear whether Neil Gorsuch considers himself a Catholic or an Episcopalian.[99] The average age is 67 years and 4 months. Every current justice has an Ivy League background.[100] Four justices are from the state of New York, two from California, one from New Jersey, one from Georgia, and one from Colorado.[101] In the 19th century, every justice was a man of European descent (usually Northern European), and almost always Protestant. Concerns about diversity focused on geography, to represent all regions of the country, rather than religious, ethnic, or gender diversity.[102]

No complaints here. I don’t like any of the women on the USSC.
