| Description | Several news organizations reported Monday that Barrett was one of four federal appeals court judges who are candidates for the high court appointment interviewed by President Trump on Monday. The candidate the president nominates would fill a vacancy created by the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy, if the nominee wins Senate confirmation.
The other judges the president is reported to have interviewed Monday were Brett Kavanaugh of the District of Columbia Circuit, along with Raymond Kethledge and Amul Thapar of the 6th Circuit.
While Barrett’s nomination for the Supreme Court would likely cause the most vicious confirmation hearing since that for Justice Clarence Thomas, it would be well worth it for conservative members of Congress who provide President Trump his legislative base. Barrett is a judicial newcomer and has been a judge for less than a year. She doesn’t have an extensive judicial record that Democrats could attack during a confirmation hearing. |
