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

No worries, the republicans hold a majority. They can just change the rules like Harry Reid did. Turnabout is fair play, right?

Amen.

I wonder if Eugene Volokh would be interested?

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

Obviously, thinking of the groundwork and who in his list is most beneficial to 2a

Nugent, Norris, and Clandestine.

I say Judge Jeanine Pirro. She'll give Ginsburg a stroke on day one and open up another slot.

Isn't she moving to NZ?

That would open up another slot! :thumbsup:

While a great scholar, I don't think he's reliably R enough to get the nod.

Sure... Until one guy who nearly lost his seat decides not to play..

R majority is slim.. just lost one and also got cheated out out of taking out dirty Harry and his machine.. plus he must deliver.. soon.

I don't want a Fox TV talking head sitting on SCOTUS.

Find someone who has a good track record of ruling and put them in please.

I'd take Hannity any day.

Thomas Hardiman is only 50 years old and had an outstanding dissent in the Drake case and is on Trump's list.
Another alternative is a current or former US Senator. What I've heard is getting a senator confirmed is a breeze; that body tends to look out for its own members Democrats or GOP.

Cruz is about as trustworthy as Hildebeast. No thanks.

Cruz is an infamous sociopath and true believer. No way he'd flip. I'd take him.

Need someone who is as self-confident and tough as Scalia and Trump, who won't be corrupted and veer Left like, e.g. Stevens and Souter did. The last thing we need is somebody who does a 180 in philosophy after s/he is sworn in for life tenure.

Several on Fox have mentioned Sen Lee, UT.

Mike Smigel?

BigBull · Nov 9, 2016

I like Senator Lee, but putting Senator Cruz on the court would help clear the playing field for any R challenge in 2020.

No. Good guy, means well.

Interesting thought... and I want Cruz on SCOTUS... but the reality may be a little different.

I still don't see Trump filling a full term. I see Pence-Rubio in 2020, so Cruz as a challenger is not happening there.

Cruz has the potential to be a solid jurist, and is praised by none other than Alan Dershorwicz (sp?)

Really?

I adore Mike, and he's solid folk...

But he's not Fed Court material at this point.

He couldn't stop saying dirty air and water, throw granny over a cliff, 50 million on food stamps, 20 trillion in debt, and a dozen other highly repetitive sayings long enough to write an opinion.
