I say....... NO!
I say either is a great choice.
-————————— A C B -———————————
I agree with many of your points but this is Amys moment.
I’m embarrassed to admit i haven’t read about either one yet.
It would be great though if we bluffed who the candidate was, then did a switcharoo at last minute like this.
I agree, an emphatic No!
The court needs somebody with a fervent and personal hatred of socialism. That would be Lagoa.
But it seems that this is not her moment.
Your entire argument is based on your opinion that she is “anti-communist” based on her parents fleeing Cuba? Who says any of the other potential nominees are any less “anti-communist” than Lagoa? I see no evidence to back up this argument.
Lagoa’s resume is incredibly thin on important constitutional issues and she has only been a Federal Judge for a year. I say let her build her resume in the 11th Circuit. Right now, we really don’t know her. Several other candidates have much more impressive bodies of work that we can examine. Actual written rulings and opinions on cases involving important constitutional issues.
Lagoa might be easier to confirm, but if Trump can put a more proven judge on the court, he should.
Are you even still around? You asked people and should answer them. And the answer is no.
And donate $10 to freerepublic for a kind of silly vanity
“News”? Your opinion isn’t news.
This debate is moot, because, IMHO, both women will become SCJs, soon enough. I see the need for yet another new SCJ, just around the corner.
NO

Hi Mount Athos. Here are two good places to start.
Amy Cohen Barrett

Barbara Lagoa

Indeed, it mostly is!
It may be anecdotal... but it’s my experience that people that have escaped oppression — or have a family history of same — are often more appreciative of the freedom America affords, than those that haven’t experienced what it’s like to not have it.
You don’t have to look to far to see how unappreciative and spoiled so many in America have become.
Just my personal observations...
Thank you for your post.

The “news” is The POTUS appointing someone to the Supreme court tomorrow ... but thanks for playing!

“The court needs somebody with a fervent and personal hatred of socialism. That would be Lagoa”.
It isn’t rocket science...but sometimes the most obvious is the thing that is the hardest to see.
That said: I will support who ever President Trump nominates.

Over twice as long as you :)
I have answered!
Your opinion is noted.

Old news. But I guess it’s new to you.
Why are both names being raised? I thought Trump had decided to nominate Judge Amy. Is there still doubt?
