The Democratic presidential candidate hasn't released a list of potential candidates for the high court. But legal experts say the pool of qualified prospects is small enough to make some very good educated guesses about who the former veep might nominate if he wins in November.

Indeed, all of the current Supreme Court justices earned their law degrees at either Harvard or Yale."It's all part of a kind of a pipeline and the Democrats and Republicans are alike in this," Crowe says."They come out of law school, clerk for Supreme Court judges and then, from there, you work in an administration or you work in a law school or you are tapped to join the federal judiciary.

The full Court, in its more recent iteration. The big question now, of course: Who will fill Justice Ginsburg's seat?One prospect, New York University Law professor Kenji Yoshino, 51, fits two categories —Asian and openly gay. Yoshino is a Yale Law graduate and prolific author whose writings have heavily influenced the legal arguments regarding LGBTQ rights.

Karlan, a Yale Law graduate and clerk for Justice Harry Blackmun, is"every progressive's dream candidate," Sanders says. Yet she may be seen as both too partisan— she testified in favor of the Trump impeachment in the House—and too old."One of Pamela's charms is she's outspoken and sharp-witted and has undoubtedly said plenty of things over the years that would get her in trouble," Sanders says.

Other oft-mentioned candidates of Asian descent include Yale Law grad Goodwin Liu, 49, a justice on the California Supreme Court; Sri Srinivasan, 53, the chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia who went to Stanford Law; UCLA Law graduate Jacqueline Nguyen, 55, a federal appellate judge in the 9th Circuit; and Lucy Koh, 52, a federal judge in the Northern District of California and Harvard Law graduate.

You actually want to ask, “ Which 4 individuals will Biden choose for the newly increased SCOTUS ?”

I would hope Merritt Garland.

Sweet lady Bitcoin! Such a peach 🍑! She is kill-ing-it! I love the Bitcoin supporters too. 'Sophisticated intellectuals' and 'Futurists' were two of my favorite descriptions! Research, invest & be happy 😊! Let's go BITCOIN!

Someone who's been a judge for more than 2 years and has earned the seat with their judicial experience.

Definitely Matlock.

If one becomes available in his term you mean?

Nobody. He isnt winning,ends that debate.

Nobody knows because he won’t put out a list of names.

Biden won't say, rest of article is speculation...saved you time.

MUCH BETTER!

Someone much better than Amy Covid Barrett

Judge Reinhold!

Lois Litt

David Duke

Barack Obama, Eric Holder,

Mitt Romney.

Probably RBG. Are you gonna tell him?

Hopefully someone like himself, ACB a fellow devout Catholic.
