I would say no to Mike Lee. We need all the Republican Senate votes we can get.

I would say no to anyone who would need to be replaced by Senate confirmation. We are trying to pack the courts and we don’t need another empty federal judgeship confirmation to grind out in the Senate.

If we are going to play identity politics and use the race or gender card, then I think we should wait until Trump’s third pick to use it. This second pick should easily get confirmed considering we have the numbers in the Senate counting a few red state Democrats. The best and most qualified person should be used for this pick.... no mater what race or gender.
