people. but they're excellent. every one. you can't go wrong." sources say - the short list includes federal appeals court judges brett kavanaugh, amy coney barrett, raymond kethledge... and thomas hardiman. many republicans are applauding the conservative contenders.sen. lindsey graham /-r- south carolina/ from fox news sunday: "republicans are holding four lottery tickets and all of them are winners." but democrats are already voicing strong opposition. at the heart of their concerns -- that the president's pick would undermine roe v wade - the landmark 1973 ruling that upheld a legal right to an abortion. the affordable care act could also be on the line. sen chuck schumer/-d- minority leader: these two rights affordable health care and a woman's freedom to make sensitive health care decisions hang in the balance of this nominee. but any hope for democrats to block the appointment-- is slim to none. the senate only needs áfiftyá votes to confirm a supreme court nominee -- meaning that if all but one republicans vote along party lines -- they will not need áanyá democratic support.still a lot could happen in what will likely turn into heated confirmation
