    David Lat Retweeted John Roberts

    Consistent with what I’m hearing on #SCOTUS, plus (1) Kavanaugh and Kethledge are serious candidates and Barrett and Hardiman are decoys, and (2) Kavanaugh, having withstood the onslaught, seems to be solidifying support as #SCOTUSnominee.https://twitter.com/johnrobertsfox/status/1015253097948614658 …

        Boring and predictable and also one of the best originalist judges in the country. Both can be true.

        Indeed - some might say Gorsuch was also a boring and predictable pick, but conservatives seem pretty happy with his #SCOTUS record so far.

        I prefer Kethledge for his profile. My objections to Kavanaugh are more or less aesthetic.

        Replying to @varadmehta @DavidLat @MichaelMSnyder

        As do I. Kethledge will get a quick and easy confirmation (relative to the others) and originalism/textualism will finally make up 1/3 of the court.

        But Kethledge is still in it. POTUS hasn't settled on Kavanaugh yet has he?

        If he has, which is certainly possible, it’s a closely held decision.

        Who in the inner circle would be pushing Kethledge? McGahn likes Kavanaugh and I am sure some SoCons love Barrett, but I wonder who is pushing Kethledge.

        Surprise answer: the person pushing Kethledge might just be Trump himself. If personal chemistry is important, Trump may just like him better than anyone else on the short list.

        He’s been under a pretty nasty attack from the right for the past week.

        All the attacks from the right seem like playacting to me. It would be well served by any of the oft-mentioned finalists (and most on the right know that).

        The immigration attacks aren't playacting it seems to me. They're loopy, but the people are really trying to kill him off.

        I guess. I figure there are always loopy attacks from a fringe that really means it. I never thought it would get much traction.

        As I said a few days ago, choice has been made for Kavanaugh. This is all just theater.

        This is better than how to spot a front-runner on the ‘Bachelor’ or ‘Bachelorette’. Such intrigue/enjoyment for the barrister crowd. 😅
