Who is going to be picked as Trumps SCOTUS nominee?

As President Donald Trump whittles down his shortlist for a Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch, who serves on the federal appeals court's 10th circuit in Denver, has emerged as one of the likely names to be selected.

Trump tweeted on Wednesday that he'll announce his pick next Thursday, and later told Fox News' Sean Hannity that he's mostly finished deciding.

"I have made my decision pretty much in my mind, yes. That's subject to change at the last moment, but I think this will be a great choice," Trump said.

Media reports have indicated that Trump has narrowed his list to three candidates: Gorsuch, William Pryor, and Thomas Michael Hardiman.

Trump said during his campaign that he would seek to "appoint judges very much in the mold of Justice Scalia" - a characteristic which Gorsuch embodies in particular.

I thought it was going to Pryor, but rumors are Gorsuch and Handiman are the ones. Any of those three would be great picks.

Judge Judy (unfortunately) is a hard core Democrat.

Haz sez Judge Sykes.

Handyman...

Sykes ex husband is a Never Trumper, so YMMV. They also may save Sykes if Notorious RBG or one of the other libtards go, figuring the Dems have less ability to Bork a woman.
