UPDATE (5:20pm ET) - Several signs are pointing to Kavanaugh. Either it's him, or this is an extraordinary bit of misdirection. The breadcrumbs from my source are related to members of Team Kavanaugh abruptly leaving law firms this afternoon. The source says he's been told "from the inside" that Kavanaugh is the pick. The second tweet, however, could be even more telling:
UPDATE (3:30pm ET) - Three sources tell me the president's pick will not be Raymond Kethledge. One of them also says Amy Barrett is likely out, but that's less solid. Taken together, these indications suggest that the Times' reporting about Kavanaugh or Hardiman from this morning was accurate, but we won't know for certain until this evening. But the decision has been made. Here's what I know, followed by an intriguing piece of chatter that suggests that Barrett isn't out after all. And another that it could be Hardiman:

And yet another report says that Judge Barrett and her entire family are currently on a flight to DC from Indiana.
We’ll find out tonight.
Judge Judy seen on a bike heading to DC.
Rampant hysterical speculation alert.
Funny thing because an hour ago there was a post about Amy Barrett being driven to the White House as we speak, now its this guy..how about this, NO ONE KNOWS til President Trump speaks :-)
Judge Judy is pretty darn cool, and she would pass a confirmation hearing in flying colors. Can you imagine, Feinstein Vs Judge Judy she would make Feinstein pee her pants
It’s a SURPRISE!!!
We will see at 9 PM.
Judge Mentday seen on Netflix.
Hardiman
I am sure that all four candidates will be nearby. What a great smokescreen. My bet is on Hardiman. I have a 25% chance of being right, although there is only a 50% chance of that. My personal favorite, Judge Judy, can’t afford the pay cut so she is out.
Saw that one too. Maybe they wanted to see the All Star Game for MLB or the Smithsonian, who knows...
You can tell the Swamp, GOPe and left republicans are pulling out the stops to get another Souter on the court.
Did Kavanaugh really pave the way for Obamacare to pass legal muster?
The allegation from conservative critics is rooted in a 2011 ObamaCare case where Kavanaugh dissented against the ruling but acknowledged that the Affordable Care Act’s “individual mandate provision” could fit “comfortably within Congress’ Taxing Clause power.
Why would Trump venture that kind of gamble?
Naw, but she would fine her for being stupid.
Judge Judy is your typical local judge. Hardly Supreme Court material.
