Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell filed cloture Thursday for four nominees to federal circuit courts, the powerful appeals panels that give the final word on the overwhelming majority of cases in U.S. courts. Confirmation votes will follow next week.

The nominees are Michigan Supreme Court Justice Joan Larsen for the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the Cincinnati-based appeals court, Colorado Supreme Court Justice Allison Eid for the 10th Circuit, the Denver-based appeals court, Notre Dame Law School Professor Amy Coney Barrett for the 7th Circuit, the Chicago-based appeals court, and University of Pennsylvania Law School Professor Stephanos Bibas for the 3rd Circuit, the Philadelphia-based appeals court.

Larsen was among the 21 candidates included on President Donald Trump’s list of possible Supreme Court nominees during the 2016 presidential election. She is widely seen as a frontrunner for the next Republican appointment to the high court.

Four is a "bonanza?"  Make it 14 and we'll agree, considering how many are sitting on somebody's disk.

From the article:
"...She is widely seen as a frontrunner for the next Republican appointment to the high court."

I don't want to see any more women on the Supreme Court.

I want relatively young, narrow-minded, mean-sprited men with a conservative bent that ain't gonna twist with age.

Those who will take the hard cases, and make the hard decisions...
