Meet the contenders to fill Justice Anthony Kennedy's seat on the Supreme Court

Justice Anthony Kennedy's announcement that he will retire from the Supreme Court effective July 31 has put all eyes back on President Trump's list of 25 possible nominees to the high court.

Kavanaugh is so far regarded to be the top contender for the Supreme Court and, if selected, he would take the seat held by his former boss.

Like Kavanaugh, Kethledge also clerked for Kennedy on the Supreme Court.

Prior to her nomination to the 10th Circuit, Eid was a justice on the Colorado Supreme Court.

If named to the Supreme Court, Lee would also serve alongside his former boss, Justice Samuel Alito, for whom he clerked on both the 3rd Circuit and the Supreme Court.

Grant joined the Georgia Supreme Court in January 2017, and her nomination to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is currently before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Stras is another member of Trump's Supreme Court short-list who was nominated to the appellate court by the president and confirmed in January.
