Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump released Wednesday a list of 11 possible nominees he would put forward to fill the Supreme Court vacancy.
Trump’s picks, via AP:
Steven Colloton of Iowa,
Allison Eid of Colorado,
Raymond Gruender of Missouri,
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.
Many from swing states, I notice. That’s usually the job of the VP candidate.
Isn’t he jumping the gun on this?
I am willing to bet that this was an issue discussed in the “unity” meeting.
I’ll have to research this list a bit, but I’m guessing 1950s vintage spittle flecked decisions are common for the group.
From 1995 to 1996 Steven Colloton was an associate independent counsel in the Office of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr.
