I thought Ted Cruz was in the running for that.

Trump gave a list and he’s got to keep his promise to choose from the list.

One of Reagan’s worst mistakes was naming a woman to SCOTUS in the name of being politically correct.

Just sayin’.

Rather have Pryor but all in for Sykes if she can remain true to conservative principles and not pull a Sandra Day O’Connor on us. Or like that ‘stealth conservative’ weasel Souter who turned out to be Ruthie Buzzy’s yes m’am boy of a liberal.

Do Sykes and Pryor have Ivy League backgrounds? I would prefer a non Ivy Leaguer to fill this vacancy.

Agreed. No women. Every single one we’ve had has been an unmitigated disaster.

I’d love to see Alabama’s Tom Parker, if he weren’t so old already.

Bill Pryor earned his B.A. from Northeast Louisiana University in 1984 (now University of Louisiana, Monroe) and his J.D. from Tulane University Law School in 1987, where he served as editor in chief of the Tulane Law Review.

Diane Sykes earned a B.S. degree in journalism at Northwestern University in 1980 and a J.D. at Marquette University Law School in 1984.

Never trust a woman on the Supreme Court.

Besides, there’s too damned many of them now, albeit that they’re either lesbians or dried up old biddies who want to move to New Zealand when they retire. That particular one has helped screw this nation up so she wants to retire elsewhere.

Note how a leftist SCOTUS pick ‘never’ turns to leaning conservative but how many damn so-called conservative picks turn out to lean or flirt with the leftist side? Sick of that crap— Thomas and Alito are the only solid ones we currently have. Kennedy and slightly less so Roberts are the swingers. No more swinger picks President Trump.

Great. We need a conservative from flyover country on the court. Not another Ivy leaguer, which even if conservative tend to be elitist.

...or anywhere else in the Judicial branch...most seem to lean left, just like they do when voting.

Before that excellent appointment of Jeff Sessions to AG I wanted him in spite of his age, but Trey Gowdy fits the bill perfectly!

I tell you this, so far I couldn’t be prouder than a puppy with two peters.

Pryor is younger. We need youth in the Supreme Court so they last 40 years. God help us if dems ever get back control and will need replacements.

Unfortunately true. Put a conservative woman on the SCOTUS and she will be subject to occasionally align with her liberal femmes. Cant have that-- sorry ladies. We have a nation at stake here.
