Who Should Trump Nominate to Scalia's Seat?

Over the weekend I received emails from two very smart conservative lawyer friends about who President Donald Trump should nominate to take the late Antonin Scalia’s seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. The first mounted a strong argument for Joan Larsen—about whom I had known relatively little. When I showed this argument to my other lawyer friend, he responded by making the case for either Diane Sykes or William Pryor. Which I also thought was very strong.

If you’re a conservative legal professional, these notes may be old hat to you. But as a layman I found them highly interesting and informative. Here they are, lightly edited.
