My preference:

1. Colloton, Gruender, or Gorsuch to replace Scalia.

2. Larsen to replace Ginsberg.

3. Ted Cruz to replace Kennedy.

4. Don Willett to replace Breyer.

Just keep the nominee around 50 years of age or under.

That would be Bill Pryor Jr. Of all of them, he is the most proven Originalist, but I fear that he may face blowback. I guess it doesn't matter much considering Harry Reid handed Republicans the "nuclear option".

Joan Larsen is only 49! She would make an excellent replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

She's fine as are most of these judges, aside from Skyes, who will be 60 this year.

Yes, that's a bit old for a Supreme Court nominee, but her age may be a good bargaining chip to replace Kennedy or one of the Liberal justices.

It's all a crap-shoot....she could be on the court for 25 years & someone in their 40s could be off the court in ten years. We just don't know. I'm just playing the odds that 60+ is too old.

PredictIT, a political betting site, has Pryor and Sykes at the top of the pool.
