By now the country knows and is in mourning for Judge Ginsberg…..that means that the conservs are rubbing their hands in anticipation of putting another conserv on the highest court in the land.
I have heard two names that gives me shudders….Ted Cruz (who says he does not want it) and Tom Cotton that warmonger from Arkansas…..but believe it or not there are other names in the hunt for the replacement….and these are…..
The full list of Trump’s additional picks is as follows:
Bridget Bade of Arizona, judge on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
Daniel Cameron of Kentucky, that state’s attorney general
Paul Clement of Virginia, former U.S. solicitor general
Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas
Stuart Kyle Duncan of Louisiana, judge on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
Steven Engel of the District of Columbia, assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice
Noel Francisco, former U.S. solicitor general
Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri
James Ho of Texas, judge on the 5th Circuit
Gregory Katsas of Virginia, judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
Barbara Lagoa, a judge from Florida on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of AppealsChristopher Landau of Maryland, U.S. ambassador to Mexico
Carlos Muñiz of Florida, justice on the Florida Supreme Court
Martha Pacold of Illinois, judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois
Peter Phipps of Pennsylvania, judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
Sarah Pitlyk of Missouri, judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri
Allison Jones Rushing of North Carolina, judge on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
Kate Todd of Virginia, deputy assistant to the president and deputy counsel to the president
Lawrence VanDyke of Nevada, judge on the 9th Circuit
An extensive list indeed…..but is there a short list? (Of course there is for Donald cannot concentrate long enough to read that long list)
The line to succeed the late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court likely starts with these federal appeals court judges:
Amy Coney Barrett

They said on the BBC that he is going to choose a woman. I don’t know how they came to that conclusion though.
Best wishes, Pete.
Pete…the GOP female senators are telling him this and he may well listen to gain their support for other measures. chuq
Trump said he was choosing a woman at some public place where the comment appeared on the news yesterday, beetleypete. Of course, who knows with Trump given his mendacious nature.
I do not think he has made many statements that did not need walking back…..chuq
Thanx for the Ping…..I appreciate your visit chuq
I heard it’s going to be between Barbara Laguoa and Amy Coney Barrett. It doesn’t even matter because anyone he chooses will be unacceptable.
There will be lots of pundit analysis until the choice is made….chuq
