Thank you very much, houeto!! I don’t know. Media and pundits seem to think the most predictable choices are Kavanaugh, Kethledge or Barrett. Which means it’ll probably be someone else.
With that in mind. Hardiman would guarantee a Trump Court— Mary Anne TRUMP (Barry.)
She was/is very close to Sam Alito (spoke in support of him at his hearing). Her decisions were identical to Alito when they served together on the bench.
...”It’s actually refreshing that Judge Hardiman hasn’t been doing much, if any, lobbying for the spot. But it’s not surprising; he’s not as well networked as the others (with one important exception: Judge Maryanne Trump Barry, Hardiman’s friend and longtime colleague on the Third Circuit, and President Trump’s big sister). Since Hardiman is not a feeder judge, his clerks aren’t as well placed as those for Kavanaugh and Kethledge, and not as well situated to advance his candidacy inside the corridors of power in Washington.”
