President Trump has said he plans to select a woman to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Among the people on his short list is Barbara Lagoa, a 52-year-old conservative judge he appointed to the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals.

After Ginsburg died Friday, the President initially expressed interest in Lagoa, a Cuban American judge he had spoken to only once before. Trump's allies advocated for the Miami-born judge, arguing her hometown could give them a campaign edge in Florida, a crucial swing state where Lagoa carved out a history-making career as a jurist. "She's excellent. She's Hispanic. She's a terrific woman from everything I know," Trump told Fox News on Monday.

"In the end, as our judicial oath acknowledges, we will answer for our work to the Judge who sits outside of human history," said part of the opinion from Circuit Chief Judge William Pryor that Lagoa joined. The case questioned whether requiring felons to pay court fees and other costs associated with their sentences in full imposed an unconstitutional tax and violated the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause.

SHES GONNA BE GREAT!!!

Oh, she seems nice...umm...

I guess the best one who gives the best to trump will get nominated, he thought he could get away with grabbing as a star think what he expects now he's president!

Trump is saying that he has a Constitutional obligation to present a nominee... so in 2016 Mitch went against this Constitutional obligation by not putting the nominee for a vote. How strong is this power Trump has then?

The left terrorized this veteran with PTSD to death. Sickening.

she looks like a psychopathic maniac

Really no experience here

She’s my pick. Would love to see democrats go after a woman of Cuban background.😳

No judge with a shred of Integrity would accept a nomination until after the election.

Affirmative action hire who does he think he's fooling🤔

Where is the outrage in an election year as they did with President Obama?

Can’t wait to see democrats slander a Latino nominee. It will work out so well for them on Nov. 3! SupremeCourt SupremeCourtJustice

Gotta be a far right Republican woman for his advantage

Trump fixing to grab something

Remember when realDonaldTrump said JoeBiden WAS IN THE 1020’s by picking a woman.

Can’t wait to watch Democrats spend October fighting angrily to block a woman from getting a job.

Trump Says He Plans To Announce Supreme Court Pick Friday Or SaturdayPresident Trump says he plans to announce his nominee for the Supreme Court vacancy left by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday or Saturday. Good to know he is still planning to do his job in the face of all of the opposition from the Left-Wingers at NPR! If you guys really want to inform the public, you could play all of those soundbites from Democrats justifying Obama nominating a Justice before the 2016 Election! Please wait while we auction it off to the highest bidder. When a party refuses to follow their own rules, they are at war OK. This is not a collegial organization representing their voters, this a war and Dems have to stop holding back. If the GOP ever wins back the house, can expect new articles of impeachment every week.
