President Trump said he would nominate a Supreme Court pick on Friday or Saturday and has five women under consideration to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as Senate Republicans lined up behind him and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), rejecting Democrats’ calls to let the winner of the presidential election make the pick.
Mr. Trump maintained that the replacement of Justice Ginsburg, who died Friday of metastatic pancreatic cancer at the age of 87, should happen swiftly. “We won the election and elections have consequences,” he said Monday morning on Fox News. “We have plenty of time.”
The president’s list has been narrowed to two leading candidates, according to people familiar with the matter: federal appellate judges Amy Coney Barrett of the Seventh Circuit, in Chicago, and Barbara Lagoa of the 11th Circuit, in Atlanta.
The president said he has three other people to choose from, though declined to name them. He said he was looking for someone who is young and could serve on the court for a long time. “We’re looking for a good person.”
Judge Barrett, 48 years old, was confirmed to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in October 2017 in a 55-43 vote. She is popular among social conservatives and was a finalist for the post in 2018 when Mr. Trump chose Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Judge Lagoa, 52, previously served as the first Hispanic woman on Florida’s high court.
More than 20 Senate Republicans said over the weekend that they back moving immediately to fill the vacancy, and many are expected to follow suit as the week gets under way. Two Republican senators—Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska—broke ranks this weekend, saying they oppose action on a nomination before the presidential election.

I’m thinking you mean Olympia Snowe?
She retired, the other Senator from Maine is a supposed Independent Angus King, who is really a hard core DEM.
Her pride was a bad vice. Karma baby.
“Protect him from the rabid attacks of the enemy and in Your mercy,”
Please Lord, Amen.
Trump received last week a letter laced with ricin.
The would be assassin was later intercepted in the US/Canada border carrying a loaded weapon, while trying to enter the US from Canada. (I assume to finish the job since the letter plot failed).
The left is so crazy, its sickness expand beyond our borders and attracts all sorts of wackos wishing ill on the President.
eived last week a letter laced with ricin.
= = =
??
Nope....it was intercepted.
It’s extended because she died on Jewish New Year. But then dig the hole and put her in.
Yes, sorry, the letter to Trump was safely intercepted.. and the woman that sent it was tracked down.
That is why they were able to catch her a the border.
Do it Friday. I apologize to our Jewish Freepers, but I have had enough with these Jewish holidays already. I want a new SCOTUS.
They are irreligious. Jewish when it’s convenient.
looks like slowly trump is becoming biden.
slow and corrupt ( see his tik-tok decision : how much money for trump family made in corrupt walmart/oracle/CCP deal )
“Could be Grant...? Could be Barrett...?”
Barrett would likely be another John Roberts according to Barnes_Law. Here is a short clip of Barnes discussing her. She sided with Illinois governor Pritzker’s lockdown order.

1 minute after it is over.
This will be fun to watch the left deny a female to have seat on the SCOTUS simply because they are a female.
That is ffolish.
They will drag it out till hell freezes over. He plainly said he will do it Friday or Saturday regardless.
She deserves no respect when she has been transformed into a dead political football
I don’t understand their logic either. What difference does it make if they vote before or after the election. Trump is still president both ways. If Biden wins would they vote differently?
Just heard on tv in repose wed thurs. Burial next week???? WTH
Nominate all of them and pack the court. Hit the enemy before they hit us!
Rush just said that Biden’s list has Stacy Abrams at the top.
If she was actually approved by the Senate it will create a problem because she needs two seats on the bench
This gives Ginsburg’s corpse a respectable time to be venerated as Queen Baby Killer. After that, it’s full speed ahead.
Here’s a link to that website for the day of prayer and repentance.

Bad optics from who? No one liked this skeletor b!tch, and if Trump nominated the Lord himself, the democraps will tear him apart as unqualified anyways. The bad optics are from the people who hate Trump and would never vote for him anyways! The bad optics will be from the rioting and the Dems destroying a female candidate. This destroys #MeToo and the feminists all in one swoop!
