Kavanaugh scares me a bit on some immigration issues. Also that he’s DC.
Although selecting a SC nominee is not my area of expertise, so I’ll trust President Trump’s judgment.
I think it’s going to be Kavanaugh and was always going to be Kavanaugh. I suspect Kennedy was assured of this before he announced his retirement, and everything since then has been for show.
For similar reasons, if the GOP holds on to the Senate, I bet Thomas will retire and be replaced with Jim Ho.
