Doubt a final decision has been made. It will be one of the 4.
Amy Coney Barrett!
I'll get on the Sunday shows and endorse you again, but only if you promise not to run against me for President in 2024. Deal?
BOVINE EXCREMENT!
Screw Hatch.
I like her, but methinks you lose Collins & Murkowski.
DJT keeps his cards close to the vest. I wouldn’t put any stock in his op-ed at all.
P.S. I hope it’s the Indian guy!
Amul Thapar, would be best candidate to fill position IMO
“...Thapar is known as a great legal writer and a good judge of law clerks, a vital trait for Supreme Court justices. Scalia, Thomas, John Roberts, Anthony Kennedy, and many other top judges have picked his clerks to serve in their chambers.
For an unexpected president, Thapar is the perfect unexpected choice. He’s not from the swamp — he represents Middle America, just like the president. Just as Trump has injected a dose of Flyover Country realism into Washington, so too would Thapar to an institution often associated with coastal elites.
The son of immigrants raised in Toledo, who sits on a federal appeals court that covers the heart of Trump Country (Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and Michigan). A rock-solid conservative and defender of the U.S. Constitution. A conservative jurist who reveres Clarence Thomas. A justice who will be on the Supreme Court for at least 30 years.
The president is looking at a very good list of highly qualified people. He can’t do any better than Amul Thapar...”
This is Hatch simply signaling to Trump that he wants Barrett.
Trump apparently got Gorsuch right, Sessions WRONG (but also “apparently” as he could still fool us and start arresting people), Rosenstein Wrong, Pruitt right but lost him, TREX Wrong, Mattis dubious, Ponpeo right, Wray WRONG.
So, strictly based on results, he gets an A. Because the SC pick outweighs all others combined.
I just wish he would replace some of his underlings and start doing better on “appointees”. And, I just pray he doesn’t F this most important pick ever up.
I know Mike Lee was in the anti-Trump camp along with Cruz. But he always stood by Cruz even before the election.
When I researched Mike’s past aad present, one thing stood out, the man is 100% true to the Constitution and has a vast knowledge of constitutional history.
Pense met with Cruz about Mike Lee as Supreme Justice. Cruz endorsed Lee and Lee said he would not say no to his selection.
My bet’s on Mike not because I like him or think he’s divine, etc, and not even so much that he’s a true constitutionalist. I think he could be selected because ...
IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR THE SENATE TO DENY HIS CONFIRMATION.
I’m going to pick Kethledge. All of the head fakes today were Barrett and Kavanagh, so it’s probably Kethledge. Solid conservative from the Midwest, and not of Ivy League stock...which is a plus. He’s least likely to go squishy on the USSC.
Eh,maybe Hatch is just screwing with the liberals heads, even old Orrin likes to have fun.
LOL! That ship sailed years ago.
Don’t count your Hatches before they chicken
