- Donald Trump has finally released his picks for potential Supreme Court Justices.
- The announcement of his picks come as Trump in the process of bringing together a “fractured” Republican Party and gain the trust of skeptical party leaders.
- Trump said that the list is more of a “guide to nominate our next United States Supreme Court Justices.”
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, has released a list of 11 potential Supreme Court justices he plans to vet to fill the seat of late Justice Antonin Scalia if he’s elected to the White House.
Trump’s picks include Steven Colloton of Iowa, Allison Eid of Colorado and Raymond Gruender of Missouri.
Also on the list are: Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania, Raymond Kethledge of Michigan, Joan Larsen of Michigan, Thomas Lee of Utah, William Pryor of Alabama, David Stras of Minnesota, Diane Sykes of Wisconsin and Don Willett of Texas. Trump had previously named Pryor and Sykes as examples of kind of justices he would choose.
The news comes as Trump is working to bring together a fractured Republican Party and earn the trust of skill-skeptical establishment Republicans who question his electability in the general election and conservatives in his party still weary of his commitment to their cause.
In a statement, Trump said the list “is representative of the kind of constitutional principles I value” and said that, as president, he would use it “as a guide to nominate our next United States Supreme Court Justices.”
His campaign stressed the list was compiled “first and foremost, based on constitutional principles, with input from highly respected conservatives and Republican Party leadership.”
Trump first said in March that he planned to release the list of five to 10 judges in an effort to ease concerns about his conservative credentials, which had come under attack in the heated Republican primary.
“I am going to give a list of either five or 10 judges that I will pick, 100 percent pick, that I will put in for the nomination. Because some of the people that are against me say: ‘We don’t know if he’s going to pick the right judge. Supposing he picks a liberal judge or supposing he picks a pro-choice judge,’” Trump said at an event in Palm Beach, Florida.
He said then the list would include judges “that everybody respects, likes and totally admires” — “great conservative judges, great intellects, the people that you want.”
The vow-marked a rare moment of acknowledgment by Trump that he could be doing more to appease those in his party opposed his candidacy.
Trump had said he would like to appoint judges in the mold of deeply conservative as Scalia, who died in February.
In the statement, he described Scalia as “a remarkable person and a brilliant Supreme Court Justice.”
“His career was defined by his reverence for the Constitution and his legacy of protecting Americans’ most cherished freedoms,” he added. “He was a justice who did not believe in legislating from the bench and he is a person whom I held in the highest regard and will always greatly respect his intelligence and conviction to uphold the Constitution of our country.”

He is keeping this country on line with the constitution. This will make the US Great Again. People need to connect to the founding fathers. He needs to show how he is going to pull the inner city to gather with the people and law enforcement. Plus point out how the new jobs will help inner inner city from decay.
I agree with Mr. Trump
Good idea to prove Trump’s intentions are for a patriotic/conservative SCOTUS
Way to Go! Finally, constitutional judges on a list. Anyone can check the Judge’s records, and see that Trump has done so already. Fine choices. The Supreme Court has been trashed by the appointments of Liberals, and we all know there was wrongdoing in the death of Justice Scalia by Dems. The shoes of Scalia will be hard to fill… Certainly not by the Kenyan Muslim or some replacement woman liar who have no respect for the constitution.
Thank you Mr. Trump. I knew you would have great choices in mind for your cabinet and for vice president. I hope you rid our government of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Sisterhood that were installed by the foreigner President, and that you cause the law breaker politicians to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. A joke recently appeared on the internet showing Hillary in an orange jump suit behind bars, being visited by Bill who answered her question: “how long will i be in here?” with the response: “At this point, what difference does it make?”
Just do…..
Thank GOD that none of these losers will ever actually be appointed to the Supreme Court!! We need LIBERAL Judges on the Bench!!!!!
