President Trump has already named a replacement for Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s seat on the Seventh Circuit in anticipation of her confirmation to the Supreme Court.

The White House announced Wednesday that U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana, Thomas Kirsch, has been nominated to fill Barrett’s seat.

In a release, the White House said:

Thomas Kirsch is the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana, where he serves as the chief Federal law enforcement officer for the District. Before becoming United States Attorney in 2017, Mr. Kirsch was a partner at Winston & Strawn LLP, with a practice focused on complex litigation and corporate investigations and served in various positions in the Department of Justice, including as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Northern District of Indiana and as Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy. Mr. Kirsch served as a law clerk for Judge John Daniel Tinder of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. He received his B.A., with highest distinction, from Indiana University and his J.D. from Harvard Law School. A Harvard Law graduate, Kirsch has also served as counsel to the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the DOJ’s Office of Legal Policy. He also has experience in private practice as a partner at a major law firm where he handled complex litigation.

According to Powerline Blog, Republicans have the votes to confirm Kirsch and plenty of time to so. “Barring unforeseen developments, Kirsch will be confirmed by the end of the year,” writes Paul Mirengoff.
