Trump to announce his Supreme Court pick!

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!
