Lagoa has plenty I’d time, she will also be gaining experience as she waits for her turn. Beyer is ancient and Sotomayer has severe health issues.
Trump tends to do what he says he will do. When Kavanaugh was nominated he said he was saving Amy for RBG’s seat. That doesn’t mean he can’t pull a massive surprise, but Amy has already been smeared and hit awfully hard and still stands head up.
I would be ecstatic with any of the finalists.
I’m actually surprised that RBG did not outlive Sotomayor, who has serious type 1 diabetes. She’s been to the ER multiple times over the last couple of years. She also looks unhealthy and bloated in many of her recent photos.
