President Trump has completed the interview process for Supreme Court candidates after speaking with six judges, a source with knowledge of the selection process told Fox News with three finalists in particular leading the field.
The president and his vetting team have moved quickly ahead of an expected announcement on Monday.
While liberal advocacy groups and others are gearing up for a major confirmation fight, Trump is charging ahead with an imminent decision to fill the seat of retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, and potentially move the court more solidly to the right.
Fox News is told that Trump has interviewed six candidates: Appeals court judges Brett Kavanaugh, Raymond Kethledge, Amy Coney Barrett, Amul Thapar, Joan Larsen and Thomas Hardiman. The interviews comprised seven conversations Trump talked to one candidate twice.
Multiple sources indicated Kavanaugh, Kethledge and Barrett are currently the focus of attention.

It’s certainly part of the equation.
Bottom line, this country needs to be optimized to support traditional families.
If people want to do other things also, that’s fine. But our continued survival as a people depends on traditional families producing traditional kids, ad infinitum.
I gotta wonder, with 5 kids of her own, why bring two more foreign kids here?
Not the ethic I want. Tired of having to be the third world’s dumping ground so that lefties can feel good about themselves. It’s done nothing but plunge this country into degeneracy and chaos, and I want it stopped.
Barrett scored the AFA endorsement.. but i just cant see another woman on the court.
“a source” ... more damn rumors being published like they’re actual “news” ...
Kavanaugh says Roe V. Wade is established precedent. Kavanaugh says hes a church going, lifelong Catholic. Kavanaugh is a clone of Kennedy.
Theres a reason why the GOP establishment and liberal establishment are crucifying Barrett and not Kavanaugh. Roe v. Wade. Its safe with Kavanaugh. Not so much with Barrett.
My latest one even went to a staunchly Christian university and turned hard left.

There is no way Trump should choose this crook. The Supreme Court, my deity!!!!
I am sorry for your loss, and for the child’s. I know of one such case where a good foster couple, fully intending to adopt, did a heroic rehab job on a young girl and had her on solid ground before DCM came back into the picture. The couple fought to retain custody but the judge put reunification as the top priority. Within a year, the girl, now a young teenager, was addicted and DCM was prostituting her for drug money. Some judges are going to burn in hell.
Amy has 5 biokids and 2 adopted kids (from Haiti).
We should start a pool.
My guess is that Trump and Kennedy made a deal for someone both could live with
“Any woman who holds anything as a higher priority than raising her own children has non-traditional and unacceptable views.”
I’d be OK wait if her husband stays home full-time.
Husband is a federal prosecutor.

Both she and he are working 70-80 hours/week jobs.
There simply aren’t enough hours in the day for these two to be raising their own children.
I GENERALLY agree with you But I just don’t trust her not turning on us years down the road because my gut tells me that anyone that would “choose” to have SEVEN kids in todays world and then want to have an 80 hour a week job is NUTS !!!
If we gotta have ANOTHER woman find me a Maggie Thatcher or Sarah Palin or Jeanne Kirkpatrick type.
I don’t think that Kennedy gets to vote on his replacement. He may express his favored replacement (one of the K’s) but I’ll bet Amy Barret wins out! We’ll see pretty soon who Trump picks. I’m waiting until Tuesday. He says it’ll be a strong constitionalist. I still vote Amy out of the 3!
Having her sit on the Court while she goes through menopause doesn’t seem to be a great idea either. A woman can go through dramatic personality changes during that time. She could come out the other side as a totally different person.
More I consider it the more I think Barrett is a really really bad idea.
Hardiman.
LOVE IT
