WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said he met with four potential Supreme Court justices on Monday, while a person familiar with the selection process said Trump was focused keenly on two people, although others were still in contention.

Trump told reporters at the White House that he will meet with “two or three more” candidates to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, who announced last week that he is retiring.

“We’ll make a decision ... over the next few days and we’ll be announcing it on Monday,” Trump said.

He met for 45 minutes with each contender, said White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders.

OK, does anyone know the positions of the potential nominees mentioned in the article and how do we stop or slow this down to a crawl?

1. Game show host....now the drum roll...countdown to the pick....stay tuned

He is a disgrace to the office of the potus.

[Mr.Bill]

2. Dog and Pony show.

8. If not Putin,

3. "Okay, whichever one of you can praise me more gets the job. You have 45 minutes. Go!"

4. "Will you pledge absolute loyalty to me no matter what the evidence shows?"

That's pretty much all that it takes to be qualified for Trump's SCOTUS.

5. No to any nominee except Merrick Garland. The Orange Blob

doesn't get to pick the judges that will rule on his legitimacy.

6. Unfortunately he's going to be able to do just that.

I haven't seen anyone come up with a way to stop him from nominating. Now being confirmed is different. Collins and Myrkowski both have said theyre not automatic yes votes

[heaven05]

7. Collins and Myrkowski

cannot be trusted. Democrats have to work hard to get RW to stop confirmation of judicial sycophants of this potus.
