The names are at the link.

[AzSteven]

Only recognize a few of those names off the top of my head, but what I know of them is encouraging. Good.

[hoosiermama]

Wiki has already added that each name has been listed on Tramp’s potential SC Justice list. Someone is fast

[BlueStateRightist]

“You’ve been listening to Hillary/Sanders to long...this is their MO...”

No. I never listen to them.

[ConservativeDude]

yes, he is a genius on twitter....he can really turn a phrase.

in fact, his writing is as good as Scalia

[Conservative Gato]

Important bookmark for later.

[bkopto]

Most are non-Harvard/Yale/NYU New Englanders. That’s a good thing.

I agree. Screw those brainwashed leftist "living constitution" jackasses. I hate Ivy Leagers.

[bigredkitty1]

Don Willett is not only a solid conservative, he is 49. He could have over 30 years on the bench. He was born just up thse road from where I live. I like the choice.

[TontoKowalski]

Most of these names are from the Heritage group's Dream List that was released in March.

JHC, nothing is going to pacify some of you loons.

[kabar]

They can always turn it down.

[MattinNJ]

Loose lips, sink ships.

[Eric Blair 2084]

They all look good. I can now safely jump on the Trump bandwagon.

[kabar]

Trump is helping to unify the party around him. It will be the hook for Ryan to endorse him along with the other “conservatives.”

[9YearLurker]

And, of course, likely none of them would turn down a nomination.

[TontoKowalski]

Welcome! We're happy to have you on board!

[trebb]

Some respectable choices and a great slam at Hillary. He upped the ante by putting out these names earlier than he had originally intended - shows he's thinking about a wide variety of issues and wants some discourse on our side to start the reunification process.

11 is a good number to give a wide variety of pro-con arguments and talks.

[DrewsMum]

No no no no

Is THIS where we’re going now?

First, it’s well, Trump isn’t as bad as Hillary, but at least he’ll nominate staunch conservatives. And now that he has a list, the excuse for at least one that is unacceptable is, well at least anyone he appoints will be better than who Hillary appoints. THAT DOESNT MEAN IT WON’T STILL BE A FREAKING DISASTER!

Bill Pryor is a HORRIBLE choice.

[Seattle Conservative]

I was curious who they clerked for:

Thomas:
Allison Hartwell Eid of Colorado
Thomas R. Lee of Utah - 1994
David Stras of Minnesota - 2002

Kennedy:
Raymond Kethledge of Michigan - 1997

Scalia:
Joan Larsen of Michigan - 1994

Reinquist:
Steven Colloton of Iowa - 1989

Judge John Minor Wisdom of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit from 1987 to 1988:
William Pryor

Judge Terence T. Evans at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin:
Diane Sykes of Wisconsin

Judge Jerre Stockton Williams at the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit:
Don Willett of Texas

None:
Raymond Gruender of Missouri
Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania

As an aside:
Laura Ingraham - Thomas 1992
Ted Cruz - Renquist 1996

Even with the Trump comments, Trump let his judgment of ability lead his decision.

[DrewsMum]

Anyone can look up Wikipedia. We need serious vetting. We Freepers have lowered our standards of vetting sources in the last few months. We need to get back to Freeper old school vetting.

[DrewsMum]

Anything to attack him.

Is disgusting.
