Well, here's the bio on Judge Sutton of the 6th circuit:

FJA Honors the Life of Justice Antonin Scalia
Justice Antonin Scalia (1936-2016)
Tributes from Former Clerks
Judge Jeffrey Sutton:
Judge Sutton, United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, clerked for Justice Scalia from 1991-1992.
I had the good fortune of clerking for Justice Scalia in October Term 1991. Eleven years later, I became a judge—thanks in large measure to that transformative year.
Justice Scalia left an imprint on everyone who worked with him. It was hard not to be affected by the Justice’s passion for the law...
**********
Sutton is 56 years old. Born 1960.
If the Clintons want to heal the divide and win some affection from distanced Trumpsters, the first thing she should do after taking the Oath is nominate Judge Sutton or his equivalent to fill the gaping hole that Scalia has left on the conservative side of the court.
She can grapple and fight with Congress later as Ginsburg and Breyer need replacing. Sutton as I understand it, patterned his judicial philosophy after Scalia. Scalia was like a God to him especially on Constitutionality and forethought on setting precedent.
This one act would be the strongest thread the Clintons could use the quickest to begin sewing the nation back together.
Discuss.
