The line to succeed the late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court likely starts with these federal appeals court judges. President Trump says he will nominate someone to fill the vacancy without delay.

In a 2013 Texas Law Review article exploring when the Supreme Court should overturn past decisions, Barrett wrote that she agrees"with those who say that a justice’s duty is to the Constitution, and that it is thus more legitimate for her to enforce her best understanding of the Constitution rather than a precedent she thinks clearly in conflict with it.”

Barrett wrote in 2017 that Chief Justice John Roberts pushed the Affordable Care Act beyond its plausible meaning in order to save it. Roberts creatively interpreted as a tax the law’s penalty on those who don’t buy insurance, allowing the court to uphold the constitutionality of the law, she said. Larsen graduated from the University of Northern Iowa and Northwestern University School of Law, where she was first in her class. She clerked for the late"We have differing views on law, politics and religion," she wrote in The New York Times about Scalia's former law clerks three days after his death in 2016."But I have yet to meet a Scalia clerk who was not grateful to the man who taught us, shaped us, and launched us into our lives in the law.

Grant, a former Georgia Supreme Court justice and solicitor general, was nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in April 2018 and confirmed 52-46 three months later. A former law clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas, Eid, a Coloradan like Gorsuch, graduated from Stanford University and the University of Chicago Law School. She later taught at the University of Colorado Law School.

A former Kentucky judge and U.S. attorney with vast trial court experience – a rarity on the Supreme Court – Thapar was born in Detroit to Indian immigrants and grew up in Toledo, Ohio with his maternal grandfather, who fought with Mahatma Ghandi for India’s independence.

Watch out Amy. He’ll try to grab your private parts.

Nominate both of them and let the committee figure which is the better one. Really screw with the Democrats minds, what little they have left.

She is another Catholic secret society attorney looking to create a Catholic America. BEWARE!

Hopefully the seat will be filled by December!!! Trump 2020!!!!

Poor woman...can’t wait to hear all the made up bullshit about her past that the loser left will throw at her.

Yep, lots of eyes are on her....

Conservatives were apoplectic about JFK being unduly influenced by the Vatican in 1960. 60 years later they’re chomping at the bit to nominate a Supreme Court Justice whose foundational principles are formed around Catholic orthodoxy.

Remember folks, when the Dunkin Donuts Man says, 'Time to make the donuts', there is no time delay. Yet, Delusional Dems want the Donut Man to wait until closing to make your donuts. Same rule shall apply to President Trump in a timely nomination for a SCOTUS Judge. No excuses.

Who has been a judge for 3 years... Lol.. For the Supreme Court...

Look up People of Praise

It’s strange that the oldest democracy & most powerful nation is so openly appointing judges on partisan basis !!! It’s a mockery of judiciary!

All morals and principles were thrown out the window when the Democrats tried to destroy Kavanaugh's life for political convenience. The gloves are off. Fill the seat.

NO THANKS.

Not going too happen

Great choice, smart, goodlooking, conservative, has very very beautiful eyes and believe in GOD! CNN NYT Trump

Let's see who actually has a spine in the GOP Senate.....my guess is NO ONE. However, wouldn't it be cool if Biden can appoint OBAMA for SCOTUS? Asses would be burning all over the place....

Gettrumpoutnow TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpIsATraitor TrumpIsALoser

Who will honor America’s fallen next Memorial Day, the guy who calls them “losers “?

Barbara Lagoa gets this nod; Amy Barrett when Breyer retires

God has the final say not human !!!!!!

Interesting group

My pick. Joan Larsen - Swing State Judge confirmed 60 - 38 for the 6th circuit in 2017 - Former Scalia Law Clerk Dems who voted for her then Carper, Manchin, Stabenow, Warner & Peters. Peters and Warner are up for re-election so may flip. Sinema and Jones are Wildcards

Mitch McConnell to Democrats in 2013 on going to a simple majority: “You’ll regret this, and you may regret this a lot sooner than you think.'

Typical Republican hypocrisy.

I think Amy Coney Barrett will be the nominee, which would be a good choice. A long shot would be Robert Young from Michigan. I like him because he is big on IDs for voting.

NO

Excellent!

just say yes

RBG isn’t even in the ground yet...
