Barbara Lagoa's stock is rising as Trump mulls Hispanic Supreme Court pick
by Rob Crilly, White House Correspondent |

When President Trump was asked about federal appeals court judge Barbara Lagoa as a potential Supreme Court justice, he was quick to home in on one of the big benefits she brings in an election year.

“I’ve heard incredible things about her. I don’t know her,” he told reporters at the White House at the weekend. “She’s Hispanic and highly respected," he said, then adding, "Miami.”

Pundits and bookmakers have installed her as the second favorite behind Amy Comey Barrett, whose Catholic faith and anti-abortion credentials make her a darling of conservatives.

But when almost all Trump’s roads to reelection lead through Florida, insiders are urging him to consider the electoral benefits of picking the daughter of Cuban immigrants who rose to become the first Hispanic woman to serve on the battleground state’s top court.

SCOTUS update: I'm hearing Barbara Lagoa is out of the running now. Bade is the dark horse. ACB is still in the lead.— Emerald Robinson ✝️ (@EmeraldRobinson) September 21, 2020

Maybe she doesn’t want it. Hard to imagine a lawyer turning down an opportunity to be on the Supreme Court but viva la difference. We’re all on our own paths. (Well, duh, aligncare)

NO.
One "wise Latina" is enough.
We don't need any more minorities on The Court.
Pick a female of Euro-American descent.
Even that seems to be a coin toss (look at O'Connor)...

Save her for Sotomayor's replacement.  Who knows, that wise Latina might not survive her hyperventilating when the majority of the court rules against her and all she can do is write dissenting opinions.....

I like Lagoa.   I think she should be the pick.  But whether she has the fortitude to endure the Dems' upcoming public gang-rape is another question entirely.
