Which is funny since it most likely will be a woman.
@dfwgator I recall, during the past couple of weeks, for some reason Trump had his list of people to consider for the next supreme court judge. Don't think there was a woman on it, but I'll check that right now.

President Trump on Wednesday unveiled a list of 20 additional potential Supreme Court nominees that includes three Republican U.S. senators, a White House lawyer-turned-judge and his former solicitor general.
Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), as well as Noel Francisco, who departed as solicitor general in June, are among the names added to the current list of candidates for the Supreme Court. Hawley, however, swiftly tweeted that he has “no interest†in serving on the Supreme Court and looked forward to “ confirming constitutional conservatives†in the Senate.
The list also includes a handful of individuals who have served in the Trump administration or his White House, as well as Trump appointees to lower federal courts. It includes, for instance, Gregory Katsas, who served as deputy White House counsel before Trump chose him to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in September 2017.
The announcement represents a bid to shore up his support among conservatives two months from the 2020 presidential election, as polls show Trump trailing Democratic nominee Joe Biden nationally and in key swing states.
In remarks at the White House, Trump warned that religious liberty, freedom of speech, and the right to bear arms are all at risk if Democrats win the election, asserting that they would appoint “radical†justices to the high court.
“Over the next four years, America’s president will choose hundreds of federal judges and in all likelihood, one, two three and even four Supreme Court justices,†Trump said in remarks from the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House.
“The outcome of these decisions will determine whether we hold fast to our nation’s founding principles or whether they are lost forever,†Trump continued.
The future of the Supreme Court hangs in the balance as the Nov. 3 voting day quickly approaches.
If Trump wins another four-year term, he would likely get the opportunity to replace ailing liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 87, and possibly fellow liberal Justice Stephen Breyer, 82, which would give conservatives a commanding 6-3 or 7-2 majority.
The next oldest justice is conservative Clarence Thomas, 72, who is currently the longest-serving member of the court and whose 28 years on the bench is longer than the typical justice’s tenure.
