Make sure it's a man with plenty of years to live.
"When will there be enough women on the SCOTUS? When there are nine." - RBG.
All the rumors I've seen are suggesting that potential nominees will be women. Which on one hand I understand because of good optics, Ginsburg's feminist leanings and so on, but on the other hand choosing people based on gender is still sexism and more importantly is retarded.
That, and to avoid a bunch of made up rape allegations that stall proceedings, like what happened last time with Kavanaugh.
They'll say she setup the girls for Kav's gang rapes.
I think Amy Coney Barrett is an excellent pick not because of her gender but because she worked under and was mentored by Scalia, is very against Roe v. Wade and Obamacare, and is pro-2nd Amendment, and from the opinions if seen her write, she is pretty anti-immigration too.
She's only in her late 40's, so she also has plenty of years left.
Her name is Barrett. She has to like smacking down gun grabbers.
.50 cal Supreme Court justice, know what I'm saying?
Where do you see she is pro 2nd?

Massive tl;dr:
Barrett argues in a dissenting opinion for the right of nonviolent felons (in this case, a guy who was convicted of felony mail fraud) to possess firearms.
As a side note, I honestly can't believe that falsely selling therapeutic shoe inserts as "Medicare approved" and then billing Medicare accordingly actually counts as a felony. Fucking clown world.
Response to your edit : This world makes me want to punch myself.

I'm expecting some hideous monstrosity that makes the vote majority female "in honor of RBG".
The consensus seems to be that he's going to pick Amy Barrett. Supposedly she was one of the three finalists last time.
