CNN: Trump to Announce SCOTUS Pick July 9, Considering Two Women and Reportedly Mike Lee

RUSH EXCERPT:

ACOSTA: "This happens as you know from time to time. President will go back and talk to reporters briefly and apparently he did this on the way up to New Jersey. Where he is going to be spending the weekend with his family. He did tell reporters on Air Force One, I guess within the last several minutes, that he will announce his pick for the Supreme Court on Monday, July 9th. So just a week from this coming Monday after the fourth of July week, he will announce his picker for the Supreme Court Monday, July 9th and he told reporters he has it down to five candidates including two women and that is significant. He was asked about the prospect of roe V. Wade being overturned and whether or not he would try to select a nominee who would seek to overturn roe V. Wade. That obviously makes it possible for abortion to be legal in this country and many circumstances. The president said he is not going to ask them that question. Meaning he won’t ask the candidates that question. As for some of the candidates that have been floated out there, asked about senator Mike Lee from Utah and that is somebody who would be a darling for conservatives. The conservative movement. And also seen as being conservative on the issue of Roe v. Wade. The president saying of Mike Lee, he said he would like the job. Usually they don’t say that. That is a quote from the president. He said he would like the job. The president suggesting there and obviously we can’t verify this, but he suggesting there that he has talked to Mike Lee about this and that Mike Lee has said that he would like the job. We can’t confirm that. We can only go off the president’s comments here and what he told reporters and he just landed a few moments ago in morristown, New Jersey. But those are two very big — or three or four very big nuggets of information from the president about the supreme Court pick which he plans to announce on July 9th. Far sooner — a lot sooner than what Democrats were hoping for. They were saying we have mid-term elections coming up this fall how can you go and make a Supreme Court pick when we are in the thick of an election season. Of course their harkening back to what happened with merit Garland, President Obama’s pick in February of his last year in office. Many Democrats wanted Garland to get confirmed and Mitch McConnell and the Republicans blocked that and did not allow that to happen and get Neil Gorsuch through the court as a result of that. So pretty remarkable, wolf. The president not even two years into office but he may have a chance — looks like he’s going to have a chance and will likely succeed in putting two supreme Court justices on the high court."
