Excellent. Y’all will remember Amy C. Barrett as the gal that DiFi attacked for being a faithful Catholic.

I also hear Thomas may want to retire.

Ginsberg is on her last leg.

Imagine the NeverTrumpers who were willing to hand Hillary Clinton 2-3 SCOTUS picks. Insane.

They may have a chance to see each other again in the near future! I’m sold on the fact 1) she’s on Trump’s list 2) she’s a woman (will drive the left even more crazy! and 3) she was Scalia’s law clerk :)

Get Cruz out of the Senate. Perry can succeed him but he’s perfect for Energy while the department still exists.

I’ve always loved her (Brown) but my guess is she’s too old for this position IMO.

Sleeping Beauty is likely to assume room temperature soon and it would feel very good indeed replacing her with a 50 year old Scalia admirer.

Janice Rogers brown is old 68.

But she might be on there 14 years in which she could save America in that time.
