Speculations on the SCOTUS nomination from a Republican who voted for Trump largely because of the extant vacancy and the possibility of replacing Kennedy and/or Ginsburg:
Looks like it's either going to be Brett Cavanaugh of the DC Circuit, Amy Comey Barret of the Seventh Circuit, or Raymond Ketheledge of the Sixth Circuit.
From everything I've seen and read, there's no wrong answers here, though the narrow margin in the Senate could make for some interesting political theater.
Who do you think it will end up being and why?
My money is on Ketheledge, because I see him as the pick the all 50 GOP Senators can get behind, and the only thing better than getting Dem Senator to vote for a nominee in this setting is watching all 49 Dems vote no and it not mattering.

Personally I'd love to see what would happen if Democratic Senators stood up on the floor, started talking at length about all the shitty SCOTUS decisions already made (in which Kennedy joined Roberts et al--let's remember that Kennedy, on the whole, was a corporate hack who happened to agree with liberals on abortion and LGBT issues, which is definitely better than anyone Trump will put in but let's not pretend he was some great saviour), and refused to yield the floor for anything short of being physically dragged from the room.
