@DavidLat, was it Judge Amy Coney Barrett who got two interviews from @realDonaldTrump?
I don’t recall that. Thapar was interviewed before. Also, I don’t see Barrett as a “compromise,” she’s the candidate of social conservatives (which is fine, but she’s not a compromise).

Well, I mean she ain't Sarah Palin... I think we lucked out that a qualified WOMAN, she clerked for Antonin Scalia, became the champion of the religious and populist right. If he nominates the "swamp creature" Kavanaugh
@realDonaldTrump will sow seeds of doubt in his base.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Additionally, from
@johnrobertsFox we know there were 7 interviews, but 6 candidates. Therefore one candidate must have been interviewed twice if his reporting is accurate. -
Oh, you mean that candidate was Thapar?
-
No, he (and others) report 7 candidates, believed to be Barrett, Hardiman, Kavanaugh, Kethledge, Larsen, Lee, Thapar.

I saw a
@FoxNews segment in which@johnrobertsFox said that@realDonaldTrump called Sen. Lee for advice for the "actual" candidates, but Lee apparently misunderstood. I know. It is hard to believe, but I heard it with my own hears. -
Fair enough - I noted how the
@WhiteHouse declined to say the call with Lee was in a#SCOTUSnominee capacity (even though Lee's people did) - but if there's a seventh judicial#SCOTUS interviewee, I don't think that person's identity is widely known yet. -
My bet is Barrett got interviewed twice. Maybe encouraged by Mike Pence who was the governor of Indiana. You said it yourself. Her interview was awfully short and went "poorly". At least the first time around... I suspect we'll learn more after
@realDonaldTrump has picked one.
