Rumor has it it's Kennedy and Grassley said were looking at some "great women" for a replacement
Diane Sykes?
Too old. She's already 59. Republicans like to pick young justices, so Joan Larsen seems more likely? I figure a Midwestern woman would be a good pick for Trump.
As for Kennedy's replacement (should a vacancy occur), the administration apparently is considering Brett Kavanaugh or Raymond Kethledge, both of whom are former Kennedy clerks and substantially less moderate than Kennedy.
Given that Brett Kavanaugh is a protege of Kenneth Starr, was involved in drafting the Starr report, and was involved in investigating Vince Foster's suicide... just imagine how the Clintons would feel.
