Sources tell Breitbart News on Sunday that Judges Amy Barrett and Thomas Hardiman have taken the top two positions in the Supreme Court selection process in the final hours before President Donald Trump makes his final choice for a lifetime appointment. Other outlets are reporting different names and numbers, leaving everyone guessing.
At age 46, Barrett would be the youngest justice in almost 30 years. She graduated from Notre Dame Law School, clerked for a federal appeals judge and for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, then returned to Indiana as a law professor at Notre Dame, where she is well known as an ardent supporter of an originalist interpretation of the Constitution. She is a mother to seven children both biological and adopted and is affectionately called Judge Dogma by some of her admirers for her grueling confirmation ordeal.
Hardiman has distinguished himself on several major issues during his tenure on the bench. Prominent among these is Binderup v. Attorney General, where he wrote that the Second Amendment must be interpreted according to its original public meaning when it was adopted in 1791, striking down a federal gun-control law as applied to two nonviolent criminals for minor offenses when the government conceded that these individuals were not dangerous.
The Washington Post called Hardiman a Second Amendment extremist, which may help his chances with the NRA-endorsed President Trump.

TRUMP likes to fcuk with Liberals!
No matter the pick, it will continue to be entertaining to watch the Communists lose their minds. Pass the popcorn, please!
- Karl the architect
If RBG were to join the choir eternal about now the liberals would truly lose their minds.
From your mouth to President Trump's ears.
The left clearly admits that Roe v Wade, Obamacare, and other things they love have little support in the Constitution.
When a judge says “I rule according to the original intent of the Constitution”, they say that means that Roe V Wade gets overturned. I think the left is even more concerned that they can’t shut down conservative speech and religion.
Imagine what they would do to keep her going. She beat pancreatic cancer which is pretty rare, she is probably getting bi-weekly full spectrum medical tests and regular blood changing. They could actually fake some medical emergency to explain the change in appearance and replace her with a plastic surgery clone, ha.

Does it get any better?
Triggering countdown to restart in...3...2...
So good. FWIW, Hardiman sounds great but hey, go Amy!
#TeamAmy
The communists will vote against any pick. But 64 million of us will support whoever is picked until the vote rino.
South Bend is one of the most liberal places in Indiana.
A mother knows best.
isn’t fake news glorious! the rumors, uh, i mean anonymous sources, are flying fast and furious now! too bad for the fake stream media that there’s less than 24 hours to play this particular game of “Fake a Supreme Court Nominee” before time’s up ...
“If RBG were to join the choir eternal about now the liberals would truly lose their minds.”
It would be suicide watch 24/7.
The real title:
“Amy Barrett and Thomas Hardiman Rising as Trump Readies Supreme Court Pick Maybe”
And the author:
“Ken Klukowski”
I’d love a 2nd Amendment extremist.
Not good if true.
Barrett with little judicial experience and thus a very thin judicial record to know her mind and work by. Could well be another Sandra Day O’Connor/David Souter.
Hardiman very bad on illegal immigration and closer to a moderate than a conservative.
Fingers crossed.
So far I’ve seen articles saying it’s Kavanaugh and Hardiman, Kethledge and Hardiman, and now Barrett and Hardiman. If I was to bet I’d say Hardiman.
