Apparently Barrett did not do well in her interviews (whatever that means).  I also read that it was possible that Trump was urged to pick Kavanaugh by Kennedy and his willingness to do so was all Kennedy needed to retire.  I actually like Barrett more but her judicial resume is still pretty thin but her academic one is solid as a rock.  She is also very young and would be a great choice to replace Ruth "Buzzy" Ginsberg if they can't prop her up until Trump is gone.  I would have been happy with any of the ones on his list and the left wouldn't so it's all good.  And in the final analysis what matters most is to not lose Murkowsky or Collins and I suspect Kavanaugh met that test and Barrett did not due to Roe v Wade.
