Posted on 11/17/2017 6:30:59 PM PST by Steven W.

The White House on Friday announced the addition of five new names to President Trump’s list of potential Supreme Court nominees. ...

Two of the latest candidates, Judge Amy Coney Barrett and Judge Kevin C. Newsom, were both nominated to their current positions by Trump in May, according to the White House.

Barret serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit and Newsom serves on U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, the statement said. The White House announced both nominations in May.

Also on the list are Justice Britt C. Grant of the Supreme Court of Georgia, Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and Justice Patrick Wyrick of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma.

The update comes amid ongoing rumors that Justice Anthony Kennedy, 81, who has served on the court for more than 20 years, is considering retirement.

A potential announcement by Kennedy could come after Thanksgiving, according to Fox News’ John Roberts

Let’s hope we don’t lose the senate in the interim.

Ain’t gonna happen. RINO’s are on notice and the primary season is coming up. Not only finding and supporting constitutional candidates to go against the 23 Dems up for re-election, Bannon and Gorka are finding them to replace as many RINO’s up as well.

Consider in light of recent events from the Moore boomerang to the entire establishment, their whole narrative is evaporating quickly. McConnell and his power structure are a joke. More stuff coming that will entirely eviscerate the entire swamp almost overnight.

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

They certainly were and they knew it too. And just imagine the picks Jeb would have made!

F Cruz after how he acted when he lost, and now goes against Moore when there is no evidence to suggest Moore is guilty

I see the point you are making and agree the SCOTUS is why they are going all out on AL senate election.

However...Mikulski is a rat and would never vote for a Trump replacement of Kennedy and that leaves Collins to vote no creating a 50-50 tie (in the world where AL senate seat flips) and Pence to cast deciding vote.

I had a “Jane you ignorant slut” moment there.

You wrote Murkowski (Alaska senator) and I read “Mikulski” (Maryland Senator)

My apologies.

They should replace RBG with Ann Coulter. Liberals would be jumping off of buildings!

You not only owe me keyboard, a monitor, a mouse, and a visit from Stanley Steemer for the stain in the carpet at my feet. Hopefully the wash will clean the pants. At 6:09am PST, I laughed so hard I scared my little dog downstairs, so you might owe me some dog therapy visits, also.

Me too with new keyboard. I bet that a lot of Freepers let out with a burst of laughter when that scrolled up.

That is the same group that is going to fight Donald Trump's appointment of a SCOTUS Judge who is not in the "MAIN STREAM", every step of the way. And remember we are now in the age of the uniparty, so makes no difference whether you have a D or an R behind your name.

Of all the voices from the far left hypocritically demanding judicial nominees who are “mainstream,” Schumer is by far the most irritating. January 22, 2017

I was hoping Sonia Sotomayor would retire.
