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...
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.
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.
Thanks for posting. Very informative.
Good group. Dump the ones in their 50’s, there are plenty in their 40’s. This is a long term strategy to not allow any democratic president put a Supreme Court for at least 35 years.
Good for Donald! He passed my litmus test since there are no candidates from the 9th Circuit Cour of Appeals!
Outstanding list. Every one is excellent. Way to go, Trump!

Patriots note that you need to support Trumps list of potential justices by electing a new Senate that will approve Trump-nominated justices.
In fact, I wish that Trump would let us know what he thinks about incumbent and candidate senators for the November elections.
In case there are any “Never Trump” conservatives left out there, this should bring them onboard with Mr. Trump.
