If chosen for Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett or Barbara Lagoa would be only Justices not to graduate from Harvard or Yale

Richard Davis, a political scientist at Brigham Young University, partially attributed the common resume of justices to"confrontational" confirmation processes. He told thedegrees from Harvard and Yale become"stand-ins" for merit and ideology and give presidents ammunition to back up claims that their nominee is qualified.

Barrett, a graduate of Notre Dame, emerged as a favorite of Trump's since Ginsburg's passing. Her name being at the top of his list isn't entirely surprising since Trump considered her two years earlier when he had the opportunity to fill Justice Anthony Kennedy's seat. He ultimately chose Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who was confirmed after a contentious hearing process, but Trump hinted Barrett would be next in line.

In this handout photo provided by the Supreme Court of the United States, the bench and seat of Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is draped in black cloth after her death, on Saturday in Washington, D.C. Without Ginsburg, all eight Supreme Court justices graduated from either Harvard or Yale law schools.

One of the the candidates Trump may speak with in person could be Lagoa and he said it could take place on Friday when he visits Miami. The president said he's received"a lot of phone calls from a lot of people" supporting Lagoa, who graduated with her law degree from Columbia, sharing an alma mater with Ginsburg.

"I don't know her, but I hear she's outstanding. And she's one of the people we're looking at," Trump said on Monday.reached out to the White House for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.

Potential Trump Supreme Court pick Barrett known for conservative religious viewsIn considering Amy Coney Barrett for the U.S. Supreme Court, President Donald Trump has turned to a federal appellate judge known for conservative religious views who liberals worry could become instrumental in rolling back abortion rights. Barrett, if nominated by Trump and confirmed by the Senate Of course. Republicans ain’t gonna pick no liberal or moderate. Certainly not a Democrat, not even a conservative Democrat, if there’s such a thing. 🤔 Hopefully she's got enough intellect and ethics to know that her own views should not factor into a court judgement.
