Trump says his Supreme Court nominee will be a woman that he names next week
CNN ^ | 9/19/2020 | Veronica Stracqualursi and Jim Acosta

President Donald Trump said Saturday evening that he will choose a candidate to fill the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Supreme Court seat next week and his candidate will be a woman.

"I will be putting forth a nominee next week. It will be a woman," Trump said during a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Trump told rallygoers that Ginsburg's "landmark rulings, fierce devotion to justice and her courageous battle against cancer inspire all Americans," offering prayers to the justice's family.

The President also noted her friendship with the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, saying it's "a powerful reminder we can disagree on fundamental issues, while treating each other with decency, dignity and respect."

He also discussed how he has the power to fill her vacant seat.

"So, Article 2 of the Constitution says that the President shall nominate justices of the Supreme Court. I don't think it can be any more clear, can it?" Trump asked, prompting chants of "Fill that seat!" from the rally crowd.

The President told reporters earlier Saturday there about 45 people on his list, but he does have a "short list" for potential nominees.

A source told CNN that Trump specifically has said he would "love to pick" federal appeals Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who is a favorite among religious conservatives, but doubts he'll secure support from the US Senate. Barrett is among Trump's list of 20 potential conservative nominees he released earlier this month in an attempt to galvanize his base.

I wish it would be judge Jeanine Pirro, her common sense is hard to beat.

What would be a hoot is this.

The nomination of Barret gets stalled somehow or fails.

The Turtle than puts the senate in recess.

Trump places Jeannine Pirro on the court temporarily.

The left goes full retard.

Trump wins.

Amy gets confirmed....lol

That is the first generation Cuban American Barbara Lagoa.

Not that WE care, but checks off the justice-of-color thing and sticks it in the lefties faces. Some may argue a light skinned Cuban American isn't 'of color' but I don't think that's a dog the lefties want to chase when they're in the habit of half-of-color people being of color not to mention their 1/1024 Liawatha. We could just sit back and call them racist if they ask any tough questions. Not that we WOULD, but we could. Well we would, with a smirk.

. He needs moderate and independent women who want a feel good story and narrative.

No. No. And no. We need a reliable conservative. Not a wishy washy squish.
