Sources: Trump intends to choose Amy Coney Barrett for Supreme Court
CNN ^

Posted on 09/25/2020 1:15:44 PM PDT by springwater13

President Donald Trump intends to choose Amy Coney Barrett to be the new Supreme Court justice, according to multiple senior Republican sources with knowledge of the process.

In conversations with some senior Republican allies on the Hill, the White House is indicating that Barrett is the intended nominee, multiple sources said. All sources cautioned that until it is announced by the President, there is always the possibility that Trump makes a last-minute change but the expectation is Barrett is the choice. He is scheduled to make the announcement on Saturday afternoon.

Barrett has been the leading choice throughout the week, since Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died. She is the only potential nominee known to have met with the President in person, according to two of the sources. One source said Trump was familiar with Barrett already and he met with her since she was a top contender the last time there was a Supreme Court vacancy, when the President chose Justice Brett Kavanaugh instead.

If true, this is a mistake. That he openly admitted when questioned that he'd met with Barrett but not met with Lagao (and didn't have a meeting scheduled) the other day during his press briefing says he might be faking them out. He then said he didn't want to talk about who he would be meeting.

Barrett has too many questions and gets Trump & the GOP nothing. I can't see Collins voting for her unless she knows she's going to lose in Nov. but voting for Lagao might be possible.

ACB believes in her faith over the law for a judge. She sides with gov't & corporations like an establishment type. It makes sense (see below).

For those calling ACB a Catholic, they are not correct. She's not a mainstream Catholic. She's a charismatic having been a active member of a group whose foundations are found in the communitarianism movement of the 1960s. They are organized into "households" (not families under the same roof, something different), submit to the group's hierarchical authority and pool financial resources. They are a "convenient community" outside The Church. Members may belong to different parishes.

We need someone committed to individual liberty and textualism.

Why did Tim Kaine vote to confirm Barrett to the circuit court?

So do you perceive her to be too liberal on these issues, such as individual liberty,and the idea of textualism in interpreting the constitution?

A one week delay in making the nomination. One week to poll white women. Sad to say - that is the world we live in.

Did it make any sense at all?

I know. I just hate to see an innocent person have their reputation ruined the way Kavanaugh did.

And those senior Republicans leaking this could have been fed misinformation as a distraction. With the media taking the bait, they are now about to run all the negative propaganda they can against this lady.

When a different person is actually announced, they’ll have all this useless trash prepared and have to start making stuff up on the actual woman selected.

I think this will be completely different. Remember all the game playing with Kavanaugh by the GOPe senators, trying to exercise their power? Yeah, well...they don’t have it anymore. We have a solid vote without the 2 tards susan and lisa so this will be swift and their crap will slide off like it’s on teflon

No she is not weak on the 2nd amendment or immigration or abortion. She is a strict constructionist from all accounts. She is a stellar pick.

He hasn’t waffled or equivocated about his position. Trump has been strongly pro-life to a point that a woman who is strongly pro-abortion probably wouldn’t vote for him. So I agree with you.

If he loses votes by picking ACB, it would be more likely people who are strongly anti-religion in my view.

Why what? If you're asking why I like Lagoa I have to qualify that I am so far from an expert or the least bit knowledgeable about legal matters (except for the lawsuits I've been stuck in). But I like her story - father escaped Cuba because he wouldn't cave to communists and she grew up with that. She knows what can go wrong here. It's like Maximo who spoke at the convention - he knows the stakes.
That's why Lagoa appeals to me.
