Mark Levin seems to favor Mike Lee for the pick. I agree he's great. I love Mike Lee...which is why I want to keep him as my Senator.  ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

Why? What are you worried about? Utah is "safe". Lee's appointed temporary replacement will be a relatively conservative Republican, as will his elected replacement. Thanks, Sap | |||

Oh my, you all can’t understand how much I love this. Liberals exploding. My wife told me she described me to one of her friends as “‘Merica and Second Amendment”. I was pleased. Winning is awesome. Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

The establishment in Utah never meant for us to have Mike Lee as our senator. They don't want him, believe me. He snuck by them somehow. I'm afraid who they would "allow" us to vote for next time. After all, we just got Romney, remember? No way. I'm keeping him. Sorry, I know, I'm selfish. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

What Balze said. Plus I wouldn’t trust our dipshit Gov to pick anyone other than a RINO/Romney/establishment, swamp dwelling douche type replacement. | |||

So maybe Cruz would be a better candidate for the big bench. There's not much to worry about in terms of someone good being sent to take his place in the Senate. The real question is whether his pissed-off colleagues in the Senate would relish the chance to screw him out of a Supreme Court seat more than they'd enjoy seeing him retire from politics. | |||

Nominate your second choice now. Save your first choice in the event of "Sleepy" Ginsberg's seat becomes available. | |||

Bird in hand is better than two in the bush. I get that this Senator is apparently a true conservative - however, he’s never been a judge so I really don’t see the attraction. And we already did the ‘take this Senator and make him XYZ, we’re SURE to get a R replacement’ with Session in AL. That’s worked out smashingly.... | |||

Mike Lee might be the best pick on the planet. Hell, Mike Lee might be the best pick on this side of the Milky Way, but he's not going to get it. Think of who's living at 1600, and how he's probably seen this a few times. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L. Mencken | |||

Oh, yeah, gosh, he'd be an excellent choice, with judgement that poor. Yeah. Clear thinker. Visionary. No emotion-based decisions. GMAFB  ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

Rule #1: Use enough gun |
I think Trump just enjoys dangling these positions in front of the Never-Trumpers, then appointing someone else. Remember how he toyed with Romney with the Sec of State position. He was NEVER going to appoint Romney. He's NOT going to appoint Mike Lee and I support that. WINNING! When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.

Any federal judge doesn't give much of a flying fuck about what people think, in that sense. They are appointed for life and have a lot of power in their spheres. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I doubt Trump is doing the dangling. Every pundit and influencer alive has their word processors on stun coming up with ideas, angles, promoting this one, rummaging this other one, speculating, predicting..... the pundit universe is exploding with nonsense. Lee is qualified, certainly, and would be able to do a creditable job of it, but it isn’t likely to be him. Not with so many other very attractive possibilities. That Senate vote is far too precious right now. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I don't get the admiration for Mike Lee. Not only did he refuse to get behind the Republican nominee, he also praised Elizabeth Warren during the election (does anyone remember?). In this respect, he is no different than Mia Love or Mitt Romney. Opposing Trump as President is pure stupidity.

Just another swamp dweller. We don't need that shit on SCOTUS. I'm all for the best candidate, but throwing a female up would be a curveball to the Leftist hacks. | |||

Legalize the Constitution |
The Judiciary (nationwide) has been the most reliable element of Leftist power in our country. All the Presidential power in the world, and solid legislation can be undone by a single jackass in a black robe. I imagine Kennedy’s retirement has unleashed the vision of a balanced judiciary and a real erosion of Leftist power. Frightening for them. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

No way is the judiciary our biggest risk from the left. A lefty President with a majority in Congress is. The Supremes didn't give us Obamacare or the New Deal or the Great Society. And of course, the real source of the problem are the "free shit" voters who elect them. I don't underestimate the power of the courts, but they aren't the source of the problem.

My pick is Judge Amy Coney Barrett, she's fairly young - 45?, very conservative and would give us about 35-40 years. ...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.
