Trumps Women Candidates for SCOTUS

Can we get a conservative woman judge who is also attractive by chance?

age 59

Disqualified.

This presidency is about making sure conservatives hold the Supreme Court for as long as they possibly can.

Gorsuch is ten years younger than that at 49 and you want to nominate someone that's ten years older?

Age is a very real and significant factor. Get them as young as you possibly can. Whoever the nominee is should be no older than 52 at the very latest.

I know she's older and if that is make or break for you it's certainly understandable, but I really like her as a Justice. She's perhaps a bit further right than Gorsuch and is a textualist.

One positive thing about age is she has an extensive body of work to look at so you know what your getting. I'd much rather get a 60 year old conservative for 20 years writing textualist based opinions then get fricked with a 50 year old that turns out to be a Justice Souter for 30 years (appointed by a republican and everyone was just sure he was going to another Scalia; boy did that back fire). Souter was actually 51 when nominated if my quick math and wiki is correct.

Anything under 60 is plenty young enough...

Frankly I want Pryor

How about no. Pick a judge based on knowledge of the Constitution and backbone to uphold it, not because "It's one of the 'her' turns".

The reason I'm focused on women this go round is because it's probably past time the GOP put another woman on the bench.

And beyond that Rak, the main issue that the Dems will demagogue is Roe v Wade. Trump's next Nominee WILL be a woman. Politics.

No 24 year olds? Would be nice to solidify a seat for the next 60 years.

Best candidate, regardless of whether they have a beaver.

But, if we are checking boxes (pun intended), she needs to be in her 40s.

I guess Clearance Thomas should of never been on the court? Although I applaud your contempt for the politics that surround the court, I'll just remind you that the best judges don't make the best candidates most the time. Moreover, if you think politics should be left out the selection process in picking a nominee then you miss the point. Trump almost has to put a woman on the court to "score some points" so it comes down to picking the best one.

Okay now that's out the way I agree Sentius that age has to be a major factor when deciding a justice. You want a judge that will be there 20-30 years.

If there's a strong candidate who can check off a certain box, then go with that candidate. You have to avoid giving the D's an identity politics talking point.

It's like a first round pick. You can draft for a need as long as the player isn't a reach.
