If Kavanaugh goes down, who do they have on deck to replace him?

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

Maybe a woman to save the midterms?

Maybe another jerk like Kavanaugh?

[MANative]

1. Almost certainly...

a BIGGER jerk.

[WhiteTara]

2. Will there be enough time before the midterms?

If he goes down, it might be for the count.

[unblock]

3. knowing this administration they'll deliberately find someone even worse.

[FBaggins]

4. Amy Coney Barrett is my guess

Trump was supposedly saving her to ease confirmation if Ginsburg or Breyer were unable to outlast him.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. There are a lot of conservative judges out there.

They could go back to one of the runners-up to Gorsuch. But Kavanaugh was selected not because of his conservative judicial positions but because of his extreme views on the power of the executive. His notion that sitting presidents can't be investigated or subpoenaed, let alone indicted, is so far out of even the conservative mainstream that he might be difficult to replace.

6. They have a list of 25 conservative judges

But Kavanaugh was picked because he's the only who will sell out the country to protect Trump. So any other pick on the list would probably be better.

[Fred Sanders]

10. They have a binder full of RW judges straight from the bowels of the Federalist Society of right

wing extremists.

[TheBlackAdder]

13. Ah, yes. The binder.

7. Judge Pirro

9. I thought that was Eli Manning for a second.

[Fred Sanders]

11. Now there is woman with nothing in her past to hide....

[TheBlackAdder]

12. Someone gets my sense of humor. :-D

[SHRED]

18. Wait...

She's an actual judge?

[TheBlackAdder]

22. Danny Vermin says it best.

8. I think the whole point of Kavanaugh was to install someone to protect Trump.

After all this bullshit, they're gonna have a tough time finding another carte-blancher.

Or maybe they won't.

[onenote]

14. Since you must assume that the other four republicans would protect Trump

why would it be tough to find another republican nominee that would do the same?

(I say you must assume that the other four republicans would protect Trump because if that's not the case, then Kavanaugh's vote wouldn't create a majority to protect Trump).

[DFW]

15. They'll find somebody

David Duke, Roy Moore, Ted Nugent, I'm sure their bench of unqualified people is deeper than the Mariana Trench

[B2G]

16. Barrett. nt

[Different Drummer]

17. Make no mistake...if it's at all possible, they will do worse than Kavanaugh. n/t

[Atticus]

19. Veselnitskaya? nt

[D_Master81]

20. There's a woman, I think its Barrett

I remember the RWNJ's in my life wanting her so I was glad when Kavenaugh was nominated. If he goes down she will be put in and make no mistake, she's probably no better for our side.

[Kurt V.]

21. Someone on this list?

[FSogol]

23. Knowing the GOP, either the Border Patrol Serial Killer or that OK Rep arrested

for sexual trafficking of minors.

[Le Gaucher]

24. Ummm .. He will not go down ...All the fuss makes for good TV

But in the end Republicans will not risk the chance to fill a supreme court vacancy.
