Why Do Democrats Have a Secret List of Supreme Court Nominees?

If hypocrisy equals people, Democrats in Washington are China. The latest example of such bold duplicity by the Democratic Party is the secret "A-list" of potential Supreme Court (SCOTUS) judges Democrats refuse to reveal while they turn blue on Capitol Hill screaming for more transparency from the Trump administration.

Democrat leaders and activists working for Alliance for Justice are keeping their SCOTUS list under lock and key. Why? What do Democrats want to hide? Perhaps it's the fact that this list of potential justices for SCOTUS contains the names of the most liberal, activist judges in the land? Maybe it's because this secret list of potential justices would turn off moderate Democrat voters? If not, why hide the names from the public?

President Trump openly campaigned on the need for more conservative judges to serve on the nation's federal courts and the SCOTUS. The president never hid his intentions — he boldly embraced the issue. In fact, President Trump hosts a list of potential Supreme Court nominees on the White House website. If you want to check the names of people the president hopes to appoint to the SCOTUS, it's right there for you to see. Also, GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell has been entirely forthcoming about discussing one of his top priorities: to work with the president to appoint solid conservative judges to federal courts in every district and region of the country.

Sens. Durbin, Schumer, Blumenthal, Booker, and many other liberal town criers in Washington, D.C. miss no opportunity to malign the Trump administration for its allegedly clandestine acts. How much longer are they going to whine about imaginary backroom shenanigans with the Russians? Yet Democrats are secretly building lists of judicial nominees — dubbed "Building the Bench" — and keeping the names hidden from the public.

They may hide the names because some of those on it have been laying low for advancement, pretending yo be moderates, like the good little 5th Columnists they are.

Single Party rule is the unwavering goal of the Democrat Party.

Maybe the list is filled with commies and they don’t want the public knowing who they really are... Remember last time when democrats ran on ‘getting something done’ and NOT on going after Trump?

Then all they’ve done since 2018 was go after Trump. These are horrible people...

Because the “short list” reads like this

Barak Obama
Loretta Lynch
Susan Rice
Eric Holder
Hillary Clinton (if she isn’t POTUS)

Because they are a Political Party that actually does want to move their agenda forward? Totally alien to us.

Because they intend to pack the Supreme Court the first chance they get.

Because some of them are already on Trump's list?

Because they believe they will win 2020 through election fraud. For instance, they just got driver’s license for illegals in New York. All part of their plan.

Maybe I'm slow, but in a Presidential election, how many times can you win New York's electoral votes?

Wouldn't be surprised if they tried to use those licenses to vote in purple states. They don't need them for NY's electoral votes.

No, the licenses for illegals are because NYS needs warm bodies for the census.

Fewer warm bodies, fewer House seats, less federal money.

To bring the Supreme Court justice count up to 15.

Unlike FDR’s plan, a 2021 enlargement will sail through a ‘crat Congress.

I guarantee you there was a list of Republican judicial nominees when Obama was in the White House.
