Not many talking about the Supreme Court vacancy. Trump supposedly had a list of 100 possibility. Has it been published? If so I’d appreciate a link.

I’m ok with just about anybody that Trump nominates, with the exception of Rudy Giuliani.

He is pro abort and 72 years old. I want someone who is considerably younger and pro life.

Check in on Joan Larsen, Associate Justice Michigan Supreme Court, 48 years old, former professor at University of Michigan Law School who clerked for Judge David Sentelle and for ANTONIN SCALIA. No known controversies and, if Scalia did not find her views very similar to his, he would not have hired her. She is an alumna of Northwestern University Law School in Illinois and is a native of Iowa. She is on Trump's list of potential nominees as published.

There is no way that 72 year old pro-abort Giuliani gets appointed to SCOTUS. If Trump NEEDED a temporary appointment like that, he can appoint the senior judge of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi) Judge Jerry Edwin Smith of Texas who is, IIRC, 69 years old with more than thirty years of service on the 5th Circuit. A few years ago he threatened to jail Eric Holder and a young Justice Department attorney unless they provided him with a statement under oath that they would obey the orders of his court. He gave them 48 hours to comply and they did by filing the affidavit. No nonsense Jerry Smith. He was also Reagan's state chairman in Texas against Gerald Ford and chair of the Texas delegation. I know Jerry since his days at Yale and Yale Law and have no doubt that he would resign from SCOTUS if and when asked to make way for a young hardline judge and then he could go back to the Fifth Circuit.
