Amy Coney Barrett has emerged as Trump's favorite
CNN ^

Posted on 09/22/2020 8:49:12 AM PDT by springwater13

Judge Amy Coney Barrett has emerged as President Donald Trump's overwhelming favorite to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, according to several people familiar with the deliberations, who say the President's view was solidified during a lengthy meeting at the White House on Monday.

Trump has not finalized his decision, and with days to go until he announces his pick on Saturday, his thinking could change.

But for now, Barrett -- currently sitting on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago -- is his clear front-runner and is viewed inside the White House as the likely nominee.

A source familiar with Trump's private conversations told CNN that one of his confidants on this issue told him that this pick is so important to not only his legacy but his re-election bid that she will effectively "be your new running mate."

Judge Barbara Lagoa remains on the list but multiple people familiar with the matter told CNN that Trump is fading on the idea of picking her. While Trump was initially enthused at the prospect of nominating a Cuban-American from Florida, a critical electoral battleground, Lagoa hasn't been previously vetted for the Supreme Court and some advisers suggested it would be a heavy lift to clear a new name quickly.

After the Kavanaugh untruthful character assassination, I don’t care what “they” think.

-Nominate
-Vote
-Seat her

Whatever comes because of it, is going to happen one way or the other. We might as well get over it.

As long as she has a consistent track record of reading the US Constitution for what it is, then , get her through quickly! Shouldn’t be as bad a Kavanaugh, since she is a woman and is already on the District Court bench. This is going to be fun. What a year in the life!

“...Any anti Catholic rhetoric ought to be turned around and aimed at Pelosi. After all, she “prays for the president” and” takes [my] faith seriously”....”

The only “prayers” and “faith” that the godless, vile, demonic Botoxian puts forth is to its Big Daddy in hell.

From CNN? Hmm. I’ve beginning to think that Amy won’t be the nominee b/c when is CNN ever right about anything?

“...There is a depth of vile viciousness awaiting this woman the likes of which few have ever witnessed. Prayers up in advance...”

Absolutely. Praying that the Lord places a hedge around her and her family that the evil one cannot penetrate.
Every ghoul, demon, werewolf from the deepest parts of the pit of Hell, not to mention communist RATs, will be coming after whoever the nominee is. Lord protect em whichever one is picked.

This is the perfect time to confirm. If the Party of Rats attempt to go on a full out smear campaign against a woman nominee, It will hurt them more on November 3. ..IMHO.

And Catholic...while I believe the most traditionalist/constitutionalist candidate should be put forth. However, whether we believe polls or not, it may assist with two areas showing some vulnerability...Catholics and suburban women (of course 69% in the Catholic voter poll who said they were for Biden are non-church going Catholics, but I digress). Let the Dems try to rip on a Catholic woman...and risk losing support from these demographics.

agree

Biden's list must s***. I hope someone leaks it and we find that there are no women at all on it.

CNN is about the last network that I would trust to understand what President Trump is going to do.

Yes - killing Suleimani!

I also forgot withdrawing from the Iran weapons agreement - no doubt there are more strong moves I’m forgetting too - he does so many.

Amy was THOROUGHLY vetted recently for her Federal judge position.

That time consuming part is already done.
