I should add, if @realDonaldTrump makes a mistake + picks an actual Souter, the #SCOTUS is suddenly 5-4 to the left. So who is the most reliable, confirmable of the candidates? About whom is there zero doubt on religious liberty, 2d Am, property rights + confirmable? Kethledge. https://t.co/2pzd0ovQAn

Proof #Kethledge may be Trump’s inside favorite for #SCOTUS: @realDonaldTrump has reportedly nicknamed him Gorsuch 2.0. We know how happy Trump has been w/ Gorsuch, so this could be a big hint here.

This like an episode of “The Apprentice: #SCOTUS Edition”

#Kethledge would be a quiet #SCOTUS justice, reportedly likes solitude - prefers his cabin in the woods over the hum of D.C. Upon first glance, not sure he's @realDonaldTrump's style but then again neither was Gorsuch, a mild-mannered man from Colorado.

#AmyConeyBarrett would be interesting female nominee in face of #RoeVWade, it could help win key vote of Sen. Susan Collins, plus 3 Democrat Senators previously confirmed her: Joe Manchin (WV), Tim Kaine (VA) & Joe Donnelly (IN)
— Jen Kerns (@JenKernsUSA) July 8, 2018
PLUS #AmyConeyBarrett fits the mold in that @realDonaldTrump has appointed more women to Sr. positions than any President in U.S. history https://t.co/Qv27cGo4H0 #SCOTUS

#Kavanaugh has support of "the Bushies" inside WH - frmr appointees of Pres. George W. Bush. He also fits the #SCOTUS Justice Kennedy mold, having clerked for him & willing to flex on some issues (contraception, Obamacare). BUT, 3 Republican Senators incl. @TedCruz don't like him

Initially didn't think @realDonaldTrump would pick #Hardiman bc if you're watching this as "The Apprentice:#SCOTUS Edition" he's "been to the boardroom before." But remember Hardiman was UNANIMOUSLY confirmed by Dems (95-0) to 3rd Circuit AND served w/POTUS' sister Maryanne there
— Jen Kerns (@JenKernsUSA) July 8, 2018
We can argue how troubling Hardiman's immigration opinions are (discussed here https://t.co/LIm6Vbfxfa). But Kavanaugh has written things in several cases that are actually good, not just maybe not troubling. If you care about Trump's immigration agenda, it doesn't seem close. https://t.co/1nr5B9s8u4
