As the list of possible SCOTUS picks narrows to rumored likelies, what about the women?
Who will Trump pick to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy? We have some clues: It will be somebody from that list, the president said Wednesday, referring to the 25 names he published in November. Reports since then have narrowed down these top contenders to five insider favorites. We have to pick one thats going to be there for 40 years, 45 years, Trump also said, suggesting a judges relative youth may be a deciding factor. There are six women on the list, and one in pretty much everyones top five. Interestingly, none of these six went to the Ivies, already a point of difference from the current nine. Plus, women tend to live longer than men, maximizing the longevity factor for a lifetime appointee. And the appointment of a female justice would (a) Be helpful to a White House with preexisting women problems, while (b) making Democrat's full-scale resistance to the pick harder and potentially more costly.
Here's a look at the women who might make the Court:

An originalist female. The left cant stop this train. Hell peel off 4 Democrats easy.
Yu wery wise Grasshopa!
Aye caramba!
Leftists are afraid of strong conservative women.
So are some FReepers.
No kidding. The GOP has seated exactly one female SCOTUS justice, and she moved a bit to the middle. Meanwhile, David Souter went full liberal and then retired in time for Obama to replace him. And Kennedy moved leftward into a swing vote position, and don't even get me started on Roberts and Obamacare. So IMO gender has nothing to do with this. And Freepers pushing such a anti-woman nominee narrative should be ashamed of themselves.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
You got that right! Great...and oh, so true.
McCain would vote against any Trump SCOTUS nominee just to be an asshole.
Uh...
Need I comment?
I see you noticed; too!
Since they ATTACK! everything he says or does.
Heck; if video would appear of Trump walking on water; the headlines would scream...
There’s a thread that indicated Kavanaugh was involved in “saving” obamacare.
If true, Kavanaugh could be another Dread Pirate Roberts.
YIKES!
Those are some ugly hags and prove that internal evil eventually is manifested on the outside.
