McConnell says senate will vote to confirm Kennedy's successor to SCOTUS this fall - Page 9

A list of potential Supreme Court nominees to replace Kennedy
From CNN's Ariane de Vogue


Brett Kavanaugh: He's a former Kennedy clerk. Kavanaugh was a late add to President Trump’s list of potential nominees, but many believe the 53-year-old judge who sits on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, might be the favorite.

Amy Coney Barrett: She's a former Notre Dame professor and former clerk to Justice Antonin Scalia. Barrett was President Donald Trump’s pick for a seat on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.


Raymond Kethledge: He also served as clerk for Kennedy. Kethledge, 51, currently sits on the 6th Circuit.His critics worry about an anti-union opinion he issued in a case brought by public school employees.
Amul Thapar: He is Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's favorite. He was handpicked from McConnell to serve at the US Attorney for the District of Kentucky.


Sen. Mike Lee: Although Lee of Utah has never served as a judge, judicial conservatives feel confident that he would not surprise them on the Supreme Court.


Thomas Hardiman: He was runner up for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch's seat.


Lyin Ted on this list thank God.

They forgot "Former KKK Wizard" for all of those peoples' credentials.

Trump should just nominate himself so he can be in power forever.

He could and, moreover, contrary to other answers, it’s not actually clear if he’d be required to resign as President to take the position. Let’s look at the Ineligibility Clause of the Constitution:

No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been [increased] during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.

It only applies to Members of Congress, which is why it’s under Article I (Section 6, Clause 2). It does not (explicitly) apply to any relationship between the Executive and Judicial branches of government.

Lmao. I just dont wanna get featured in one of those mexican gore videos. But if that happens ill give you guys a shout out

lmao what. Am I misunderstanding this or are you clueless? The LGBT community rallied the fuck out of Hillary from coast to coast. That includes me, even though I couldn't vote.

I am probably clueless, and desperate as well.

The news today are just too bad.

I don't speak for everyone in the LGBT community (I'm gay), but I donated to Hillary's campaign a couple times at a few LGBT events. I also bought bumper stickers from her campaign site.

Is it illegal for a non-citizen/PR to donate to a presidential campaign? =X

think it is

I'm pretty sure you just made yourself ineligible for DACA / any reliefs.

It's a huge no-no for non-citizens/PR to donate to political campaigns.

You don't say?

Eh. It was like $30 total.
