My only concern is I want someone with a long track record who won't flip when he's on the bench.

Cruz would be ideal IMO

I stand with John Locke.
It's going to be one hell of a fight. And without a filibuster proof majority...we may still loose.

I'd love to see Judge Andrew Napolitano on the SC.

Diane Sykes from CA7 would be awesome. A relatively young woman who has authored pro 2a opinions at the Circuit level.

I think we all prefer somebody young as long as the person is absolutely a reliable, well-known quantity.

I want Alex_Kozinski to be nominated and be on the Court. He'd be an awesome Supreme Court justice.

Except he's far too old, 40-50yo is far better so they'll be around a long time.

I favor following the Thurgood Marshall precedent. Alan Gura for SCOTUS.

The best Scalia replacement would be a qualified conservative judge who is a gun owner. I don't know if any of the current SCOTUS justices are gun owners, but I suspect that at least four of them are definitely not gun owners. I seem to recall that Scalia tried to expose his fellow justices to firearms.
It's one thing to understand the Second Amendment's history and reason for existence. Those are academic perspectives, and are certainly necessary. But a judge can't fully appreciate the Second Amendment without hands-on, practical experience with firearms.
Keep in mind that the vast majority of firearms laws we don't like were passed by legislators who knew nothing about firearms. And, I suspect, when those laws were challenged, they were allowed to stand by judges who knew nothing about firearms.

He can't actually do anything before he's sworn in... but IMO a lot of groundwork can be started.

Neither would be interested in the strictures... or the pay cut!
