Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement from the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday, precipitating a cataclysmic election year confirmation battle.
Though the White House has publicly identified as many as 25 possible candidates to succeed Kennedy, the early favorites for the pick are drawn from a small crop of young appeals court judges popular in Washingtons conservative legal circles.
Speaking in the Oval Office shortly after Kennedys announcement, Trump confirmed he would draw his selection from a list of possible Supreme Court nominees assembled during the campaign. Five individuals were added to that list in November 2017.
These early favorites include Judges Brett Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Raymond Kethledge of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and Diane Sykes of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

wow...
She and her husband, also an Attorney have SEVEN children...(must be why DIFI is jealous of her.)
enough said..
Screw the left. I want to see heads explode all across this great nation. He should Nominate Sekulow:
Jay Alan Sekulow
born June 10, 1956) is an American attorney who serves as Chief Counsel at the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ). He also hosts a talk show that airs on radio and television. Sekulow is a frequent guest commentator on the Christian Broadcasting Network and the Fox News Channel. A self-described Messianic Jew, Sekulow built a legal and media empire over a thirty-year period by representing conservative, religious, anti-abortion groups.
Sekulow is on President Donald Trump’s personal legal team, which is advising the president in connection with the investigation into possible collusion between members of Trump’s 2016 campaign and the Russian government.
Cruz tried to hoodwink the American people! If he knows so much about the Constitution, why did he deliberately present himself as a candidate for a position for which he was not eligible? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I will never trust him or that wife of his.
Oh well...Nothing ventured...Nothing gained...{:-(
I’d like to see her nominated if for no other reason than to watch the Democrats dig an even deeper hole violating the No Religious Test Clause regarding her Catholicism.
...bring Nikki Haley onboard as VP.
Kinda like that idea. Would give the Left all sorts of conniptions.

Hell no. The left would consider that move a significant improvement from their perspective as far as who occupied the Vice Presidency. And Im not entirely comfortable that Pence would be a strict constitutionalist in all matters.
Newsmax has a longer list more info. Info on the list that is the same list as President Trump used to pick his last USSC justice

I reckon you look at the USSC as something other than what it really is - just another useless, overblown and corrupt institution wholly owned by Deep State Inc. However - it's nice to see that the president is probably going to get 3 more picks besides Goresuch: RBG, Souter and a draft pick to be named later. I'm thinking, make room for an unexpected retirement or death.
I could get used to all this WINNING
