President Trump on Wednesday announced an updated list of potential nominees to the Supreme Court that included three Republican U.S. senators and his former solicitor general.
Trump announced 20 additional potential nominees that would be added to a list of candidates for the Supreme Court, including Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Noel Francisco, who departed as solicitor general in June.
The move represents a bid to shore up his support among conservatives two months from the 2020 presidential election. In remarks at the White House, Trump warned that religious liberty, freedom of speech and the right to bear arms are all at risk if Democrats win the election, asserting that they would appoint “radical” justices to the high court.
“Over the next four years, America’s president will choose hundreds of federal judges and in all likelihood, one, two, three and even four Supreme Court justices,” Trump said in remarks from the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House.
“The outcome of these decisions will determine whether we hold fast to our nation’s founding principles or whether they are lost forever,” Trump continued.

Yes!
Younger!
“The move represents a bid to shore up his support”
Just the facts, Ma’am. Is that too much to ask from The Hill?
Ted Cruz for SCJ!!
Cruz wasn’t a natural born citizen and tried to run for president which means he doesn’t respect our constitution.
It's humbling and an immense honor to be considered for #SCOTUS.

No Judge Amy Barret?
Sounds really good. Who could he replace? Breyer, Ginsberg, who else?
Interesting that that myth is still around.....and people still believe it.
Myth? He wasn’t born here to two US citizens was he?
IIRC, Barret was on PDJT’s original list.
Today, he was announcing 20 new additions he might consider.
Hope we can hold the three senate seats this opens up - assuming they all get confirmed!
Still on the first list, these are additional.
How ‘bout Mark Levin.
Cruz would be EXCELLENT. Militant enough to confront Commies on the Court.
Get off the witness stand, ya big dope!!!
Sotamyor, Kagan. Breyer and Thomas MIGHT retire, and for a wonderful cherry on top, Roberts!!
These are additions to the list that already includes Judge Barrett. (Had the pleasure of meeting Her Honor at a Federalist Society event last fall.)
