Donald Trump said on Friday he plans to announce his nominee for a forthcoming vacancy on the supreme court on 9 July – a lightning-quick move to replace the retiring swing vote Justice Anthony Kennedy, 81.
Speaking aboard Air Force One en route to his private golf club in New Jersey on Friday afternoon, the president announced that he has five finalists, including two women, out of the shortlist of 25 names that had been previously circulated.
Speaking to reporters on the plane from Washington DC, Trump said he may interview one or two contenders for the nomination this weekend in New Jersey.
“I’ve got it narrowed to about five,” he said.

Like a boss.
I vote Hardiman
Finally a president who sets the agenda and is always on offense
I vote Barrett. Trump is a lady’s man.
Love this president. Love him.
It’s a birthday gift to me.
“Lightning quick”
I imagine that he’s been working this for at least the past year and a half. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Kennedy was retiring.
“Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids, and schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens.”
Some version of Ted Kennedy’s speech opposing Robert Bork’s nomination to the Supreme Court, will be given by Chuck Schumer or some other Democrat, as soon as we know who the nominee is.
they just have to change the name here, and add some lines about topical issues such as the kids at the border matter, and they are ready to go.
posting here in the hope someone will put it up as a thread:

“For the sake of transparency and to keep the American people as fully informed as possible about these matters, the task force should consider interviewing these individuals in an open setting,” Nunes wrote in the Friday letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy and House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte.

The swamp is not used to the nature of organizational business decisions, of which our President knows well. These are not drawn out poll tested decisions and does not allow time for the MSM to try to form public opinion. The leftards will be on overtime from now till then.
