Barbara Lagoa, a Cuban-American who spent the bulk of her judicial career in Florida’s state courts, has emerged as a leading potential U.S. Supreme Court pick who could mobilize voters in a key battleground state.
If nominated and confirmed, Judge Lagoa would bring an atypical background to the high court: The only child of Cuban exiles, she attended a public university and has limited experience in the federal court system. She spent more than a decade on an intermediate state appeals court, a brief stint on her state’s highest court and has been on the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for less than a year. She would be the U.S.
“Unlike every other justice on the court, her formative experience and networks are not based around New York and D.C.,” said Jesse Panuccio, a longtime acquaintance who served as a general counsel to former Florida Gov. Rick Scott. “She’s comfortable in that world, but at the end of the day, she grew up in Hialeah and went back to Miami.”
Perfect. Limited/ she's intelligent and will learn asap.
Who needs qualifications? She’ll help with the Cuban vote in FL. That’s what it’s all about...
How refreshing. And the Senate confirmed her just last December to the 11th Circuit by a vote of 85-15. She’s quite the judicial heavyweight. A _great_ choice for a quick and guaranteed confirmation.
Barbara Lagoa is a top candidate herself &her nomination may help the President,politically.However,leading candidate for nomination,per reports,remains the Notre Dame educated lawyer,jurist &academic-Amy Coney Barrett.May best candidate win &may confirmation be least acrimonious
Good choice. Diversity in our high court. A stellar judicial record, 2nd generation immigrant that demonstrates the values of hard work, education and the American dream of opportunity well earned. Good luck in your nomination gauntlent you will face.
Limited experience? Sounds perfect
She is an Immigrant and here illegally. Her parents are from a Communist Country and she is not a real US citizen. Isn't this the ideology of the GOP, Trump+ MAGATs, doesn't she need to be sent 'back to were she came from' BC this helps realDonaldTrump its different (sarcasm)
Just the type of person Trump thinks he can manipulate.
Maybe those chosen to uphold our Constitution at the highest levels should be Constitutional Scholars - or, at the very least, they should have in-depth and extensive knowledge of our federal judicial system. ... I know, 'crazy', right? SupremeCourt
She hates wage earners
Barbara Lagoa may be great candidate herself &her nomination may help the President politically too.However,leading candidate for nomination remains the Notre Dame educated lawyer,jurist &academic-Amy Coney Barrett.May the best candidate win &may the confirmation be quick &smooth
Trump just can't seem to find anyone qualified that meets his own standards, which are lower than whale poop.
moreexperiencethanKagan
Does she know Trump is going to ask her to throw the election? All that work to get to where she is now, and then she gets hit with the Trump taint.
And Trump had limited experience leading a Government without filing Bankruptcy
It's funny when the same people who go 'someone should be hired on merit not to race' also post things like this....
Because Elena Kagan was such a standard choice? She was literally never even a judge. She did, I suppose, have the Ivy League snobbery bonafides, though.
What qualifies her to be a Supreme Court justice?
Maybe atypical is what we need.
Cons hate experts.
As much as this would further energize Latinos she is just ready for SCOTUS. Trumpknow that too

She’s just being prepped for the next liberal to go down
And Trump likes her because she is a woman and Hispanic. Both areas where his polls hurt. See the bigger picture folks, he wants votes.
