I see. So you hadn’t even heard of the other candidate on the short list and jumped in anyway Sleddy? You’re better than that.Sledog said:

Picking the non-ethnic conservative, while considering the ethnic one was the smart move.
I’ll note that both selections are out of step with the traditional academic elitism that accompanies SCOTUS appointments. Harvard, Yale and Stanford, undergrad and law school, have traditionally dominated the appointment pools.
The Cuban woman went to Columbia LS, which is up there too and way better than Notre Dame, but went to FIU undergrad, which is very low brow.
Barrett was undergrad at Rhodes College, not exactly a tippy top liberal arts college, and Notre Dame LS, which is not elite. #26 in USNWR, current ranking, is even higher than it’s been historically. It’s not even Georgetown. Top law firms don’t interview there.
Why do you think she has “broader appeal”?
She also made it to the Ivy League with no affirmative action - I know this because she is my age and we attended LS at the same time. I know first hand that the law schools, especially those in the east, don’t consider Cubans as diversity candidates. Dean of admissions at Michigan told me that point blank.
So I ask you again: why does Barrett have broader appeal? They seem like almost the same people. Only real differences are Barrett taught in LS and the Cuban has a better LS pedigree and served in her state’s Supreme Court.
Only one I had heard of prior was ACB. -
All good... lol

I like her fine and I'd probably like the Cuban just as well. I'd most likely think most on his list are good with me.creepycoug said:

I am a one issue voter and that's the second amendment. Like I said I ain't picking. Give Trump a call and tell him what you think. Without #2 the rest of the amendments would be gone so fast...... -
ACB is hotter than the Cuban gal.
Trump always defaults to hot, all things being equal.
Can’t blame him for that. -
Your Cuban roots are showing.creepycoug said:

See also my ABC hotter than Lagoa post. ABC appeals to suburban soccer mom. They can relate to ACB
Trump is going to cruise in Florida anyway - he's got the Cubans locked up tight.
He needs soccer mom to move 'just' a little bit to the right. Either that or a couple Antifa gatherings at gated communities where a BMW gets torched or something.

I’ll try and answer, creepy
I’m not a big SCOTUS candidate watcher. I get my list of candidates in the Tug.
Barrett was considered publicly last time around so when RBG died, I assumed her name would be at the top of the list and here she is.
I’d never heard of Lagoa until her name surfaced here with you advocating for her. Next time around I assume she’ll be at the top of the list.
Name recognition. That’s it. -
if she changed her name to Comey-Barrett I think the left would be happier. They like hyphens.
I am glad a conservative is nominated - don't care about much after that, the left needs a conservative court to counteract the last 100 years of us getting screwed -
Headline might as well read "Hard to call new nominee a racist and rapist, what now?"

Because Cubans are known swarthy folks.creepycoug said:

Barrett is slam dunk 2A. I love her. Swaye mushroom stamp of approval.EsophagealFeces said:
Barrett has a better track record on the 2nd amendment. Good enough for me. Not that Lagoa is bad on it, she just doesn’t have a track record if ruling on it.creepycoug said:
