Allison Rushing of the 4th Circuit? If that’s her she’s a Wake Forest alumni and in VA now ...Yes he has already picked a possible female replacement form.either nc or sc can't remember which.
We know politicians only take an inch, right?Naughty words
She’d be great but I think her Catholic ties and abortion stand will make it tough. It was brought up in her 7th Circuit appointment but when it comes to the Big Leagues it will be a huge thing for many Dem Senators.could be
Amy Coney Barrett
Too soon?

So what “professional courtesies” are owed to anyone on the left with regard to Trump appointing now, or holding off till after the election? Anything?
Scuttlebutt is that Cruz doesn’t want the job anyway.As much as I would love to see Cruz in a robe. I hope he nominates a woman this time. Of course they will parade out of the teenage pool boys she molested 20 years ago.
I don’t believe we will get it through before election. Dems will go crazy and Republicans will back down.
Cruz declined the position on Wednesday. There's a huge email campaign here to ask him to reconsider.Scuttlebutt is that Cruz doesn’t want the job anyway.
I didn’t say I cared. Remember that the Republicans had the WH, House and Senate and there were still a ton of Republicans (never Trumpers) who would not do a dang thing that Trump wanted. Some actually had voted for Hillary.if they lose the WH and the Senate majority what difference does it matter to run it thru in Late November?? Not a damn bit!
I know and IF Biden wins HRC or BO will be on the courtI didn’t say I cared. Remember that the Republicans had the WH, House and Senate and there were still a ton of Republicans (never Trumpers) who would not do a dang thing that Trump wanted. Some actually had voted for Hillary.

I know Trump and the Senate Judicial Committee could push thru a nom before the election but your point makes for good discussion on really pushing quick ... but what about Tillis trailing Cunningham here in NC and the ND Senate seat how would a push affect these 2 races?Correct me if I'm wrong but there's no longer a filibuster of SC nominees.
Susan Collins has always been the wildcard R senator because she's from Maine and is well right of her constituents. To be reelected she has had to vote more liberal than her beliefs.
Susan is losing badly and likely to be out come Jan. She has nothing to lose.
Time for an originalist/textualist justice.
Not if the GOP goes a pair in the Senate ... second thought you’re probably right.I know and IF Biden wins HRC or BO will be on the court
That should not be a problem since the court has been 5 Roman Catholics, 3 Jewish, and an Episcopalian (raised Roman Catholic).She’d be great but I think her Catholic ties and abortion stand will make it tough. It was brought up in her 7th Circuit appointment but when it comes to the Big Leagues it will be a huge thing for many Dem Senators.
they could loose the senate and have no choiceNot if the GOP goes a pair in the Senate ... second thought you’re probably right.
She will likely vote for it AFTER her election irregardless of win or loseCorrect me if I'm wrong but there's no longer a filibuster of SC nominees.
