Trump looking at diversity on Supreme Court
Trump seems to get it. The court is dominated by Yale and Harvard Law School (every one attended one of those two schools) and people from the northeast.

....As he considers a list of nominees to succeed the late Justice Antonin Scalia, Trump is looking for a kind of diversity the current court lacks.

The potential nominees all have sterling judicial conservative credentials. But the current list represents something else -- a nod to judges from "flyover" states, an appreciation for non-Ivy League schools and even a dash of political experience. Many on Trump's list wore different hats before donning their judicial robes. And some have personal stories that could attract the President-elect....

Romney would get my nomination. Although not being Catholic could hurt his chances.

The Supreme Court isn't a place for a judicial novice/political hack.

Judge Judy. She is as conservative as they come. Well, maybe not. She's pretty old.
