So, here's where this country has ended
up in 2018. President Trump was set to announce his Supreme Court
nominee to replace the retiring Justice Anthony M. Kennedy at 9 PM.
Monday, July 9. Mr. Trump is deciding among four finalists, all
federal appellate judges: Amy Coney Barrett of the
Seventh Circuit, Brett M. Kavanaugh of the District of
Columbia Circuit, Raymond M. Kethledge of the Sixth Circuit
and Thomas M. Hardiman of the Third Circuit. All four were on
a list of 25 candidates the White House compiled with input from the
conservative Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation.
All the candidates under consideration
are top flight judges whose records are beyond reproach. Yet, when
confirmation time comes around, you can bet the bank that not a
single Democratic will cast a yea vote! Not because of anything
being wrong with the candidate, but rather due to their political
hatred for Trump and a fake fear of Roe vs Wade being overturned. So,
now we will need ALL the Republicans to stick together, along with
the President, in order to see that individual confirmed. What a sad
state of the Union....
As a side note, I'm rooting for Amy
Barrett. She has quickly become the favorite for many social conservatives in
Trump’s base, who like that she hails from South Bend, Ind., is a devout
Catholic and has expressed a willingness to overturn Supreme Court
precedents!
It's gonna be a bloodbath regardless of his selection. Sad.
