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.

My mother had seven sons and was not doing anything like you claim if she were Catholic she should be a saint. But you’re an a$$Hole, so who cares?
“Also, these judges have been vetted. No other president on our side did this. They took some political appointee based on who knows what?”
Yeah, the RINOs are pi$$ed off that Trump doesn’t subscribe to the “it’s my turn concept of selection of Jurists,” (and anyone else for that matter).
Yep, and he did it in order to have a chance someday at the Supreme Court.
Another reason he should be dinged.
Ever think that such a woman has help? Maybe even her husband?
Oh good let’s soread rumors and gossip

Ok Annie thanks for sharing
I think on this nomination the Left will destroy whomever Trump selects.
It would be a power play they hope they can win going into the November election.
These idiots don’t care.
You can’t know that
Conservatives are the only ones that shoot their own
I’m uncomfortable with her lack of a track record. Of those 3, I like Kethledge. I’m confident we would get no nasty surprises with him.
She said in 2016 that she did not think the SCOTUS would overturn Roe 100%. That is, the battles would be fought over late term abortions and other restrictions/regulations. I would guess she would be opposed to late term abortions in most cases, but it's anybody's guess on 1st trimester, in my opinion. But such a case may never come up in SCOTUS.
A highly publicized character assassination of a white woman might turn the Blue Trickle into a Red Tsunami in November.
Even RBG said that Roe was wrongly decided, but that doesn’t mean it will be overturned.
And this?

Seems like each one has some issue. How can you be sure?
My pick is Thapar.
That’s the worry. It always happens.
You need to observe more closely to not only what Jeanie says, but what she does NOT say, and whom she does NOT criticize (at least until it’s ‘safe’ to do so).
She is not the independent she makes herself out to be.
But JJ talks a good game, I’ll give her that!
my mom had 6 kids and was a rosary carrying, holy water in the house Catholic and was pro choice. So you never know.
Even if that is the case, she has clearly made a decision that pursuing her career is more valuable to her than raising her children, and I don’t want any judge appointed who feels that way.
A mother’s job is to raise her children and all else must come second to that.
