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.

Why do you say that? Is she on record as being anti?


Nope.

ACB is anti-2A?

First I’ve heard...


Specifically not. She’s an originalist on that. She goes into great detail on why folks should not be relieved of their right to bear arms casually or categorically.

“But [Lagoa] didn’t have the long track record on...”

...anything. She looks like a possible good future candidate, but simply isn’t there yet.

No.

Because FNC, with a lot of people who have direct access to PDJT and are his friends, has been hinting at the same thing all week. Also, none of the FNC people has contradicted the CNN report.

I don’t recall Gorsuch or Kavanaugh being the “frontrunner” until they were announced. If Trump has an off-the-radar favorite, the smart thing to do is to keep them hidden (but vetted) while the media and the liberals aim all their vitriol at someone who’s not getting selected.

Doing so makes the media appear like unhinged freaks (which they are) and it also keeps the Left from doing opposition research on the judge if she wasn’t considered a likely choice.

Good. Though her confirmation should be a shit-show.

"Catholics started out as Democrats and they still believe a lot of that garbage."

Heck, I have young Irish/Catholic-descent far-flung relatives that are going into the booths today and who are still voting for FDR (only under new ballot names)....just like their immigrant great-grandparents did.
