From your link,great wisdom from Clarice,shes a brilliant lady.
begin copy below.
There are 53 Republican Senators and 47 Democrats. In case of a tie, the Vice President may cast his vote. Senator Susan Collins says she will vote no. Senator Lisa Murkowski has said she will not vote for a Supreme Court Justice before the election. Rumor has it that Mitt Romney would vote against a replacement, something his spokesperson vehemently denied. Even assuming they all bail, Manchin, who voted for Kavanaugh, indicates that he'll vote yes, and there’s at least one other Democratic senator in a tight race who might jump ship on this (Doug Jones of Alabama). The President has made clear some time ago that he’d move ahead with any replacement, observing honestly that a Democratic president would...............

Clarice goes on to say she has a good idea who trump will put forward for the job:

There are a number of candidates on the President’s short list. I put my money on Amy Coney Barrett, a conservative Catholic mother of seven (including two children adopted from Haiti and one with Down Syndrome) who presently sits on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. At the American Spectator, Robert Stacy McCain persuasively argues for her appointment. He notes that there has not been a Republican woman on the Court since Sandra Day O’ Connor; she’s not from the Ivy League, graduates of which load the court “who come from a very insular, elitist perspective that does not reflect the experience of ordinary Americans”; and she’s from the middle of the country, not the coasts. During Barrett’s confirmation hearings to the Court of Appeals, Senator Dianne Feinstein famously slammed observant Catholics “The dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s of concern when you come to big issues that people have fought for years in this country.”

My guess is that Clarice is right and wouldn't it be nice if what she stated as well that a couple of dems might come across the aisle as well.Let's hope she's right on all claims.
Clarice is always a great bet.

For strictly political reasons, what do you think of the Latina Barbara Lagoa from Florida who’s on Trump’s short list? Does she have the same type though lessor number of credentials as ACB? Will Trump pick up more of the Florida Hispanic vote and more nationwide if he selects her? There is already one Latina on the court (Puerto Riican heritage); is another one too many?
