So everyone is anxiously awaiting Trump’s pick for the SCOTUS tonight, especially liberals who are angry, frustrated, and utterly infuriated. Meanwhile, we on the right are like a fat kid eyeing a case of candies and wondering which one we’ll get to savor. For generations.
Anyway, there are some big league hints that are dropping ahead of the unveiling:
Buzz at the US courthouse in DC: Brett Kavanaugh spotted leaving in a black sedan accompanied by four black SUVs with security agents presumed to be Secret Service, per source.

Ok, here’s something:
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) July 9, 2018
Source just called w/ two pieces of circumstantial evidence, both strongly pointing to KAVANAUGH. Intriguing data points, but not 100% solid.
Asked another good source by text if he could confirm...”unable.” Other sources have gone dark.

Hmmm…
I'm told Mike Lee has been spotted flying to Washington today....

If it's Kavanaugh, hard to see how he gets blocked. He's at least as qualified as Gorsuch, just as shrewd, and the shimmer of doubt from conservatives would gives Collins/Murkowski cover to say that they stood up to the right.

No matter who it is, you can be sure liberals will overreact and implode, and we’ll try to provide you with the most entertaining examples at the Riiiight Scooooop!!!

BREAKING: @OrrinHatch told a few of us that he knows who the SCOTUS pick is and "doesn't think" (polite Hatch language) it's Amy Coney Barrett."

UPDATE:

Our producer in South Bend just saw Judge Amy Coney Barrett at her home asked if she was the SCOTUS pick: “I can’t confirm nor deny anything but you can see that I’m here.”

UPDATE:

WSJ: On Monday, Mr. Trump had settled on two finalists and was leaning toward Judge Kavanaugh based on what he saw as an impressive academic pedigree and judicial credentials, one person close to the White House said.https://t.co/3L2JXbNiZW

Looks like we have a winner
It’s Kavanaugh https://t.co/0lSva10Mxo

.@ShannonBream and I are getting separate - strong indications the pick is Kavanaugh - but @realDonaldTrump staff will NOT even talk about it.
