      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. #SCOTUS #AppellateTwitter

      Why not Paul Clement? Why is moderate Hardiman in the mix??

      Clement would be great, but he's probably viewed as too "inside the Beltway" - not "Trumpy" enough. Some say Hardiman was pushed by his Third Circuit colleague, Maryanne Trump Barry (aka President Trump's big sister).

      IHardiman “looks the part” and his wife is from a real estate family. But he is not a feeder judge and nothing in his record suggests “brilliance”. I don’t get why Paul Clement was left off the list. Barrett will be kept for the RBG seat. Kavanaugh too much associated with Bush?

      I think the coast is clear for Kavanaugh now. He might not be everyone's favorite nominee (who is), but he's eminently confirmable.

      Trump saying his pick need to be Harvard or Yale. Rather narrows the list.

      Rules out Hardiman if true.

      And several others, e.g., Amy Coney Barrett, Raymond Kethledge, Joan Larsen, Amul Thapar - but it sounded to me like a somewhat offhand remark by Trump, not an ironclad commitment. But good news for Kavanaugh, I guess! #SCOTUS

          So I guess Trump is leaning toward Barrett. Collins is on board because Barrett has written extensively about “precedent” (so clearly she respects its value!) and Schumer is trying for a pre-emotive strike.

          I know she said that about Gorsuch (he wrote about precedent), but has Collins said anything about Barrett specifically? If so, link? (I know Collins spoke over the weekend re: Roe and precedent generally.)

          Schumer is now going ballistic with a series of tweets about Barrett. He has not done this with any other candidate.

          Thanks for flagging for me! I have a story for @ATLblog in the works about the #SCOTUS horse race, and I just incorporated the Schumer tweets.
