Don Willett is Iowahawk’s BFF.
This is a good move. But this also gives the Left targets to perform “drive-by’s”.
From what I know - all are pretty normal and generally conservative...
Nothing that a conservative can do or say or not do or not say will prevent the left from targeting them for drive by attacks. Trump has demonstrated the right response again and again...fire back hard!
Diane Sykes was married to Trump-hating radio talk show blatherer Charlie Sykes, but had the good sense to divorce him in 1999, so I think the statute of limitation has run out on that indiscretion.
SEN Lee’s brother. Interesting
Congress should amend the Judiciary Act of 1869 to allow for 15 justices.

Which one is his sister?
Good list, I’d add Justice Rebecca Bradley of the Wisconsin Supreme Court to it also.
I’m sure the New York Times will be putting pressure on Hillary to come clean with her list... /s
I don't know about that. It smacks of FDR's attempt to "pack" the court back in the day. I would prefer a constitutional amendment to limit the terms a SC judge can serve. How about 15 years instead of 15 justices? Or maybe 12 years and limit the congress to 12 year terms also.
Why not ask Hillary to do the same?
Important ping.
TO TRUMP GO!!!!!!!
Diane Sykes and David Stras would be my top two choices. I’d also be intrigued by law professor Viet Dihn.
That would be juicy.
“... It smacks of FDR’s attempt to “pack” the court ...”

So what?
Term limits would be a whole different topic.
