Raymond Kethledge is being considered to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by Justice Anthony Kennedy's resignation. He currently sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
Judge Kethledge is not pro-life. He joined a decision that favorably cited a precedent censoring a pro-life advertisement, and held against allowing a Christian advertisement too. Am. Freedom Def. Initiative v. Suburban Mobility Auth. for Reg'l Transp., 698 F.3d 885 (6th Cir. 2012).
Judge Kethledge is not pro-Second Amendment either. He refused to join a concurring opinion by conservative Judge Boggs that sought to strengthen the Second Amendment by establishing a "strict scrutiny" standard of review for laws that infringe on it. Tyler v. Hillsdale Cnty. Sheriff's Dep't, 837 F.3d 678, 702 (6th Cir. 2016) (Boggs, J., concurring).
