I was a minute late submitting the poll due to a phone call
some of the contenders include
Tom Hardiman
Ann Barrett
Ray Kethledge
Brett Kavanaugh
Amul Thapar
Joan Larsen
Kavanaugh and Barrett appear to be the leaders now
I have heard a number of names today mentioned by pundits but much of what they were up to was cheerleading for their choice. I also read a piece that McConnell suggested to Trump not to pick someone this time with years on the bench because Democrats will use it to drag out the confirmation process because of so many rulings they can mine through looking for something they could make hay over dragging out the process.
Hardiman is strong on the 2nd Amendment and the Washington Post is painting him an extremist on gun rights while some fear Kethledge would be a Souter 2.0.

Social conservatives favor Barrett. Though she has a very impressive resume, she hasn't been on the bench very long and earlier I supported her and I would do so but I think she would be better saved for replacing RBG. After studying all on the list, my choice would be Amul Thapar. I don't have a clue who Trump will pick but I do know one thing, it won't matter who it is because the left is going to do everything possible to turn this confirmation into a circus.
