new-supreme-court — Supreme Court of The United States In the East Conference Room. A ceremonial room used for meetings, receptions and special events. Seated from left, Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, Chief Justice of the United States John G. Roberts, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, and Associate Justice Stephen Breyer. Standing behind from left, Associate Justice Elena Kagan, Associate Justice Samuel Alito Jr., Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch.

The betting is on for whom President Trump will nominate to the Supreme Court, with Amy Coney Barrett, an Indiana appeals court judge, the early favorite with 5/2 odds. Judges Brett Kavanaugh and Thomas Hardiman are also at the front of the pack on the gambling website, with 7/2 and 5/1 odds, respectively.

But some people are looking to put their money on some longer odds with TV judges, Judge Joe Brown and Judge Judy Sheindlin, both given 250/1 odds of going from TV judges to Supreme Court nominees.

Two of the president’s five children — senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. — are also on the betting site’s list. The commander in chief’s daughter edges out her older brother with 250/1 odds, compared to Trump Jr.’s 500/1 chance.
