Quiet preparations are underway within conservative legal circles and the White House counsel’s office in the event that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg retires, two sources familiar with the process tell The Daily Caller.
Both sources said that the White House counsel’s office and its conservative legal allies have now been through two successful confirmation processes, and that they have developed an intimate and professional feel for how to run the process again, if necessary.
The opening would be the first under White House counsel Pat Cipollone, who assumed the position after Don McGahn. Cipollone is a longtime Washington lawyer intimately familiar with the conservative legal eco-system.
“By appointing Pat, Trump made sure he has a White House counsel who is both able to handle the investigation and a movement conservative philosophically aligned with the base of the party,” American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp told TheDC.
Malcolm speculated that if Ginsburg’s seat becomes vacant, “there would be a lot of pressure to appoint a woman, I would think that one person the president would seriously look at would be Amy Coney Barett.”

I swear that I read that she died around two weeks ago after complications from her lung surgery.
How could I have made that up? I mean, it was news... I read it more than once.
Was someone else really, REALLY old that was female and had major surgery that died soon afterwards?
I'm serious, and this is not a Mandela post, I'm just thinking I am officially insane.

Uh. No. Didn't happen. She was back at work just a few days after that surgery.

The fact that most of his base want Amy Coney Barret on the court necessitates that she be the next nominee. A lot of us wanted to see her for the previous 2 openings.

She has an impressive resume, but not much time as a judge. What makes her so appealing to his base? Age? Sex? Religious affiliation? Honestly, asking..

Hopefully Amy Coney-Barrett will be the next nominee, and is willing to go through the grind, with her family, like Kavanaugh did.
I'm sure hate-filled Democrats will accuse her of everything under the sun.
