Possible - but a president so fond of giant gold lettering sometimes just goes for the obvious (as he did with Gorsuch). #SCOTUS #AppellateTwitterhttps://twitter.com/varadmehta/status/1012077870653628417 …

But Kavanaugh was an extremely noteworthy omission. And a lead author of Starr's report seems like about the last thing Trump wants on the Court. I think Trump is a lot less concerned with trying to impress or reassure this time around.

I agree with you that Brett Kavanaugh is the frontrunner (and your point about another D.C. Cir. vacancy is an excellent one that hadn't occurred to me). I'd say maybe Ray Kethledge is #2 and Amy Comey Barrett is #3.

Where does Pryor fit into this?

I think his moment might have passed; there are now folks who are younger, easier to confirm, and just as conservative.

I think Judge Newsom is one to watch. Relatively short paper trail, record of Dem support, though he hasn't been on the bench long.

He's a real mensch; I've gotten to know him through O'Scannlain clerk alumni circles. I think he'd be great, but he's not yet getting as much buzz as others (& Trump goes by buzz, as shown by the Gorsuch process; no surprises like Harriet Miers).

Too bad. Great "outside the beltway" type with serious D.C. bona fides.
