After meeting with several candidates on Saturday, President Donald Trump promised that Americans would have a new nominee for the Supreme Court by Monday, July 9.
The President is spending the weekend at his golf club in New Jersey, brushing up on judicial philosophy and sitting down for one-on-one conversations with at least five possible SCOTUS nominees, including at least two women, he told reporters Saturday.
Trump has reportedly narrowed his list down to a handful of federal judges: Brett Kavanaugh, Amul Thapar, Thomas Hardiman, Raymond Kethledge and Amy Coney Barrett. Barrett has emerged as a popular favorite, with conservatives citing her recent Senate confirmation hearings for the federal bench where she was accused by Sen. Dianne Feinstein of fully espousing Catholic dogma.
Trump would only say that he believes Barrett is an "outstanding woman" when speaking with reporters on Air Force One this weekend, careful not to reveal too much insider information about his selection process.
