Guess the republican SCOTUS replacement.

For anyone interested in a serious analysis: https://reason.com/2020/09/09/two-cheers-for-president-trump...
Amy Barrett.
Probably the most realistic choice. She's backed by the Federalist Society, rather than Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz.

Plus, she's a woman. She'll get branded as the 'RBG of the right'

I thought that was Sandra Day O’Conner? You know, the first woman on the Supreme Court and nominated by Reagan.
Here are some guesses I've heard from various news sources: Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, and William Barr.
Holy fucking hell. You're in for a ride if this is the short list. As an European I really really hope that y'all can turn this shit around in November, otherwise it's good bye US.
Merrick Garland?
That would be the interesting move!
I wish.
Tom Cotton
Amy Barrett, a hard-right ideologue.

Edit: sorry to all of you Amy Barrett fans out there.

Donald J. Trump
Squee. (WTDVs).
