President Donald Trump will ultimately secure a hand-picked replacement for retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy – but not before a political free-for-all among lawmakers on Capitol Hill, former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci told Newsmax TV on Friday.
"My prediction is there will be a lot of rabblerousing, there'll be a lot of contention and screeching and on the Democratic side," Scaramucci said on "America Talks Live."

"[The Democrats will] use a lot of this stuff for fundraising and these form letters that they send out to their constituents to raise some money for the midterms."
But, added Scaramucci, there's no question that Trump will prevail.
"We're going to get another Supreme Court nomination through, it's going to get approved. It'll be a very great jurist, just like Neal Gorsuch is an amazing jurist, and someone I actually went to law school and have an enormous amount of respect for.
"The president is actually very, very good at evaluating this stuff… Before the midterm election the Supreme Court will have another justice… an impartial justice."
