The short list for Supreme Court Justice are rumored to be, Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Raymond Kethledge. All three are "Conservative" by most measures, but not all three appear to be originalists.
My pick of those three is Kethledge. He is NOT from Yale or Harvard, making him unique in his educational background, and he appears to be more "citizen friendly" calling Chevron v NRDC, in which the Court gave deference to government agencies to interpret their mission, a blatant mistake. In Turner v. US he actually said that the Constitution should be interpreted as the words were commonly understood when it was written and ratified. That's a winner statement right there.
Kavanaugh isn't necessarily a bad pick, but his judicial history is one of a follower, and as a Justice on the DC circuit, he has shown a deference to the government. He is a conservative in ideology, but IMO not the best pick to apply and interpret the Constitution. Barrett has a great personal story, and I would like to see the idiot Democrats on the Judiciary Committee go up against her, but she is too inexperienced at a higher level to be a reliable pick. When you appoint someone her age to the High Court, she had better be who you thought she would be, and she seems a little squishy.
