There are a number of candidates on the Presidents short list. I put my money on Amy Coney Barrett, a conservative Catholic mother of seven (including two children adopted from Haiti and one with Down Syndrome) who presently sits on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. At the American Spectator, Robert Stacy McCain persuasively argues for her appointment. He notes that there has not been a Republican woman on the Court since Sandra Day O Connor; shes not from the Ivy League, graduates of which load the court who come from a very insular, elitist perspective that does not reflect the experience of ordinary Americans; and shes from the middle of the country, not the coasts. During Barretts confirmation hearings to the Court of Appeals, Senator Dianne Feinstein famously slammed observant Catholics The dogma lives loudly within you, and thats of concern when you come to big issues that people have fought for years in this country.

My guess is that Clarice is right and wouldn't it be nice if what she stated as well that a couple of dems might come across the aisle as well.Let's hope she's right on all claims.

For strictly political reasons, what do you think of the Latina Barbara Lagoa from Florida who’s on Trump’s short list? Does she have the same type though lessor number of credentials as ACB? Will Trump pick up more of the Florida Hispanic vote and more nationwide if he selects her? There is already one Latina on the court (Puerto Riican heritage); is another one too many?
