His court picks as a whole have all been good. IMHO... his arrogance just makes me cringe. I am beginning to like Ted Cruz as a nominee for the 2024 elections.

It would be interesting to see if Pence would challenge Cruz for the nomination. Love him or hate him, Pence has been a "loyal soldier", and he certainly deserves a shot at the nomination. Of the two, I would personally favor Cruz. But I think that Pence may well be in the mix too, and it will be interesting to see how they work that out between them. But other than those two, I don’t really see anyone who would be a strong standard bearer for the GOP for POTUS. I’d take Rand Paul over either of those two, but I don’t think he has enough national presence to generate broad interest among potential GOP voters.

A 5/4 or 6/3 Supreme Court.

Chas.

But it makes me feel better when somebody as astute as Mr. Cotten reassures me of it.

I could not agree more. Let us all just hope and pray the Republicans get it done. I just don't have much faith in Roberts.

I believe that would be the reason Charles called it 5/4 or 6/3. He was counting on Barrett being confirmed.

I do not care for Trump very much (his personal behavior is distasteful to me - a reason I generally don't care for New Yorkers), but his nomination just now, and his pushing to get it through, was enough to redeem him when i voted this morning. This SCOTUS nomination is the most critical thing for our country and our way of life that I have seen in many years.
