One has to wonder if all these candidates gave the “okay” to be on this public list.

I’d think any jurist would be pleased to be on a list of potential nominees to the US Supreme Court.
It’s like asking a baseball player if they’d object to getting on the All-Stars list or if they’d mind being considered for the Yankees.
General Rule of Thumb: Unless you got skeletons on your skeletons, as a Judge, you don't say no to SCOTUS.
Judges are vain as the day is long. This is an honor.
Why should their “okay” be required?
You’ve been listening to Hillary/Sanders to long...this is their MO...
Who cares whether they approved having their names on this list? This is a list that Trump put together of people that he would consider nominating for the Supreme Court. None of these people are obligated to accept such a nomination. Although, I simply cannot imagine that someone who is already a high-ranking judge would be opposed to the idea of being nominated to the Supreme Court. That is, after all, the pinnacle of the legal profession.
“Gave their permission to be on the list...”
Seriously? This is quite an honor to even be suggested to be on a US Supreme Court list. I guarantee these jurists are strutting like peacocks right now!
Talk about a career boost!!!
