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.

This is a play to get these women on board the Trump Train. Ignore the tweets and focus on the policy. Barrett turns off the pro-choice former democrats that voted for Trump in 2016 though. They only care about the economy, immigration, and trade. He has a coalition. The campaign determined Barrett adds more conservative religious women than subtracts moderate ancestral democrats. I hope they are right.
God Bless her. The Rats will put her reputation, and her families reputation through the ringer.
Another Roman Catholic.
good luck to us all on 2a
How do we know this is not fake news?
That’s about the only positive in the selection.
I was pulling for Lagoa.
CNN could be a fake source leak.
Beware.
Tomorow we will know for sure.
Excellent choice!
i was also. But it’s not over yet!!!
Great! Go Trump! Go Amy!
Caution....”This is CNN” reporting this insider news.
Is she weak on 2A?
Why do you say that? Is she on record as being anti?
Trump could have leaked some Fake News just to embarrass the media.
Which selection do you agree with?
>>good luck to us all on 2a<<
ACB is anti-2A?
First I’ve heard...
Me too but if she was a serious contender, Trump would have met with her but he has denied the meeting. In the other 2 supreme court nominations, there were reports of Trump meeting with multiple candidates not this time.
It seems McConnell told him that there is a tight timeline and the Senate caucus knows Barrett and there isn’t enough time to vet an unknown candidate like Lagoa. The supreme court nomination was too important to risk on an unknown like Lagoa.
And the left, who claims to care SO much about catholics, are going to trash her every second of everyday. God Bless Amy, she knows what is about to happen to her from the commie left
