True; that list is full of great choices. Trump's victory will be even sweeter if he gets to fill 2 or 3 more seats!

Any last guesses before the nominee is announced (which should be very soon)?

Pryor and Sykes are still the odds-on favorites, but Trump is pretty unpredictable. Sykes would be the easier confirmation of the two.

The Senate would've gone nuclear for SCOTUS nominations by then I think, so only 51 votes would be necessary. Or at least I hope.

As to the original question, I'm banking on Pryor. He was always on my list of top 2-3, but the fact that he met with Trump in Manhattan further makes me believe that Trump is about to name him to the Court.

That's my guess, too, and for that reason. He hasn't shown the same interest in others on the list (Sykes would be the next in terms of mentioning people by name, but I don't think he's actually met with her).

Andrew Napolitano also met with Trump recently. Liberatarian. Gay. Fox News law pundit and law professor. Napolitano mentioned on Fox the other day that he and Trump had discussed the SC and he declined to answer whether or not he had been asked to sit on the SC (which doesn't necessarily mean anything aside from respecting privileged conversation).

Looking forward to hearing the answer of "who".

Napolitano is gay? I never knew that.

I watched the interview too. It seemed to me that Trump had somebody in mind already. Napolitano likely gave Trump his nod of approval to that choice.
