A White House official said, “We are looking for people in the mold of Alito, Clarence Thomas, and the late Scalia." That official confessed that it was "premature" to admit they're talking about a vacancy.

A death and a retirement allowed Trump to appoint two judges. He scored a third judge after the Senate Majority Leader refused to allow President Barack Obama to appoint a justice at the end of his term in office.

Lawfare's editor-in-chief, Benjamin Wittes, told TIME, “There’s a lot of anger at Amy Coney Barrett coming from the MAGA movement."

In a New York Times op-ed, legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin suggested that Trump is "grooming" his former attorney, Emil Bove, for the job.
