President Obama is close to selecting a nominee to fill Justice Scalia’s seat on the Supreme Court. The three reportedly in the running are Sri Srinivasan, 49, and Merrick Garland, 63, who both serve as appellate judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and Paul Watford, 48, who serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

Both Srinivasan and Watford are Obama donors. Srinivasan donated $4,250, and Watford has donated $1,000. Garland has not donated to Obama.

Srinivasan, who was born in India and grew up in Kansas, would be the first Asian-American and first Hindu on the high court. Obama appointed him to the appeals court in 2013. The Senate confirmed him in a 97-0 vote.

Srinivasan served in the Justice Department under Democratic and Republican presidents and worked as a clerk to the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court, Sandra Day O’Connor, a Republican appointee.

Garland, who has earned praise from lawmakers of both parties, is the chief judge of the Washington appeals court, where he has served since being appointed by Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1997, winning confirmation in a 76-23 vote. Prior to that, he served in the Justice Department under Clinton.

Watford, 48, is a judge on the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, winning Senate confirmation in a 61-34 vote in 2012. He previously worked as a prosecutor and in private practice.

If confirmed, he would be the nation’s third black justice, following current justice Clarence Thomas, appointed in 1991, and Thurgood Marshall, who retired in 1991 and died in 1993.
