I was pulling for Lagoa.
i was also. But it’s not over yet!!!
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.
Me too. Seems to be the best choice. IMO concerns about her being another Souter or Roberts completely ignores her and her family’s history. Her father fled Cuba because he refused to take a pledge to the communists in order to practice law. No doubt that her parents’ experience has impacted her.
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.
Barrett could be a decoy. Trump is best at manipulating the media
Yes, Dems are afraid of her.
Specifically why?
