Amy Coney Barrett ought to be on the short list

For one thing, there's no question that her faith is genuine:

 . . . she is a mother of seven children, and  . . . when she speaks about her Catholic faith, she speaks about God as if she really believes in His existence  . . . 

Wow! Seven kids! How has she found time to compile a resume like this?

She is a graduate of Rhodes College and Notre Dame Law School. Prior to serving on the bench, Barrett was a law professor at the University of Notre Dame. She also taught briefly at George Washington University and the University of Virginia. Barrett clerked for Judge Laurence Silberman on the D.C. Circuit and then the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia after graduating from law school. She also has experience in private practice at Miller, Cassidy, Larroca & Lewin in Washington, D.C. where she was part of the team who represented George W. Bush in Bush v. Gore.

She has been published in numerous law reviews for various topics including originalism, federal court jurisdiction, and the supervisory power of the Supreme Court. She also served six years on the Advisory Committee for the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts appointed her in 2010.

Several of the others being considered would be great, too. Either of the Lee brothers, for instance.
