How is it that conservatives are snookered time and time again on judicial picks? AMY CONEY BARRETT Above is a photo of the ‘frontrunner’. Say what? Who is saying Barrett is the ‘frontrunner’? Why . . . fake state media, of course. Let’s get something straight, Barrett is not liked by liberals which makes us conservatives feel all gushy and stuff. Seriously, she’s not a liberal pick but if liberals must, they will accept a deal with her as the pick. But ask liberals if they will accept Barbara Lagoa and they will jump in their vans, show up at...

The confirmation battle to fill Justice Ginsburg's seat could be apocalyptic. Here's the strategy behind some of the president's top contenders. President Donald Trump will make his third nomination to the Supreme Court on Saturday. The initial plan was to make the nomination very quickly following the death of Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last Friday, but it has been delayed so that the country may properly mourn the justice known for her support of liberal social causes. Ginsburg was appointed by President Bill Clinton 27 years ago. A reliable vote for the left block of the court, she was...

President Trump will select a Supreme Court nominee to fill the vacancy created by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg within a matter of days. We know that it will be a woman. And based on multiple reports, the top two potential finalists are Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the Seventh Circuit, and Judge Barbara Lagoa of the Eleventh Circuit. A law professor at Notre Dame, Barrett was confirmed 55-43 (nearly exactly along party lines) to her current post in the fall of 2017, following a contentious process. To be clear, I believe Barrett is a brilliant and capable...

President Trump plans to meet with shortlisted Supreme Court candidate Barbara Lagoa during a campaign visit to Florida on Friday, according to two sources familiar with his plans. What we're hearing: Sources who know both Trump and Lagoa say they still expect the president to pick Judge Amy Coney Barrett, but they view the Lagoa meeting as a wild card because they say she has a charismatic personality that would appeal to Trump. The majority view in Trump’s inner circle is that Barrett would be easier to confirm because senators are familiar with her. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has...

President Trump on Monday said he’s considering five women to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, including federal judges Amy Coney Barrett and Barbara Lagoa.

Lagoa, a judge on the US Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, is a Cuban-American former justice on the Florida Supreme Court. Barrett is a judge on the Seventh Circuit and is a favorite among religious conservatives, who was also reportedly considered at the time Brett Kavanaugh’s name was...

President Trump said he would nominate a Supreme Court pick on Friday or Saturday and has five women under consideration to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as Senate Republicans lined up behind him and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), rejecting Democrats’ calls to let the winner of the presidential election make the pick.
