Trump Releases Names of Potential Supreme Court Picks

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, on Wednesday unveiled a list of 11 potential Supreme Court justices -- most of them male -- to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia should Trump be elected president.

Under consideration are 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.

The announcement comes after Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus recently called on Trump to reveal the Supreme Court justices he would think about nominating should he win the November election.

“I think a smart thing for Donald Trump to do would be to release five to 10 names of people that he would pool from to say, ‘Here is 10 folks that I think would make great Supreme Court justice,’ and work with people to come up with that list,” Priebus said earlier this month.
