Worth noting the States these judges are from. I doubt it’s a coincidence!

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.

Do you want liberals to start jumping off building? Oh, wait....

Another article on the same topic:

“he would look for someone in the mold of Mr. Scalia and later promising to furnish some prospective candidates.

Mr. Trump said in a statement that his short list is “representative of the kind of constitutional principles I value and, as president, I plan to use this list as a guide to nominate our next United States Supreme Court justices.”

Mr. Trump’s list includes the names of several judges who are regular favorites of conservative legal scholars and appointees of President George W. Bush.

According to a list released by the campaign, Mr. Trump’s potential nominees include several federal judges: Steven M. Colloton of Iowa; Raymond W. Gruender of Missouri; Thomas M. Hardiman of Pennsylvania; William H. Pryor Jr. of Alabama, Diane Sykes of Wisconsin; and Raymond M. Kethledge of Michigan; and several state Supreme Court justices: Allison H. Eid of Colorado; Joan Larsen of Michigan; Thomas Lee of Utah; David Stras of Minnesota; and Don Willett of Texas.”

More importantly is who is NOT on the list: Former Bush administration Solicitor General Paul Clement, the infamous Harvard Law Douchebag who wrote the discredited article along with Neil Katyal attempting to give cover to the would-be usurper Ted Cruz on the natural born Citizen issue.

Joe Sixpack does not think about individual SC justices. Conservative political nerds do. Therefore: talk populist, sometimes even liberal; appoint constitutionalist judges. Good move.

On the loading dock where Trump talks this is called “putting the turd in Clinton’s pocket.” Brilliant move and except for Texas they all come from winnable Blue States.

I’m a little disappointed Sessions isn’t on that list. But he may not want it. But he’d be an excellent justice.
