Hardiman is my gut guess...
I figure Trump will do his best to appoint a man/woman that conforms to his vision of the Constitution and how much respect it deserves as future decisions are made.
I don’t care for Lee at all. He disqualified himself in 2016. Thus my lampooning 2020 campaign signs “McMuffin / Lee” showing up on the forum.
I predict a surprise. It would certainly be like Trump to let the Democrats trash a group of prospective nominees only to select someone nobody’s expecting then they have to start digging all iver again.
Thanks
Any of the four would be a great SC Justice, but the biggest fight will rage around Barrett, probably because the Godless Commies fear her the most and she would be the nominee most likely to cause Collins or Murkowski to bail.
I don’t think Trump was seriously considering Lee. I think he was yanking his chain just like he did with Mitt when he interviewed him twice for SecState then didn’t nominate him. It exposed him for the fake he is. Same with Lee.
Hardiman’s wife Lori Hardiman (née Zappala), is an attorney and real estate professional. The Zappala family, which includes Stephen Zappala and Stephen Zappala Sr., are prominent Democrats.
This makes him a NO for me.
Thanks for the mention. With all the talent in his list, I can’t see a reason for him to pick Lee, so I do agree with you.
“Hardiman was an excellent student at Waltham High School, “
My kids were in high school when he was-—in an adjacent town.
The kids from each school didn’t care much for each other. :-)

Hardiman looks good and is a strong voice for the Second Amendment.
That didn't stop you from voting for Trump, did it?
That concerns me as well, but I really want to know what this stuff about Ayuda is all about and whether he’s going to be awful on immigration.
Hardiman was a very compelling life story. Is he an orginalist? I know Barrett is, and that is all I care about.
If his wife and in-Laws are Rats then NO. They Always have influence look no further than Ryan as an example. Arnold S was absolutely turned by the Kennedy clan and look what he’s become
I believe Hardiman IS an originalist.
Then I am fine with Hardiman.
So where is this final list? PDJT has not tweeted it...is there some smoke signals or MSM announcement on the finalists?
I love how articles with no sources of their info just appear to be such authorities.
Fox News just reported this guy Kethledge, who’s sided with illegals time and again, is now the favorite to be named Supreme Court Justice. This is getting crazier all the time.
Judge Raymond Kethledge, by some reports now the frontrunner for President Donald Trump’s next Supreme Court nomination, has a record that shows weakness on immigration.
Since President George W. Bush appointed Kethledge to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, he has consistently demonstrated interpretations of immigration law at odds with the conservative wing of the Supreme Court and, more broadly, the notion that American immigration laws exist for the benefit of Americans. He has also shown a willingness to inject his own sympathies with the plight of illegal aliens facing deportation into his opinions.
