Sources close to the presumptive GOP nominee say he again plans to release a similar list in coming weeks or months. As he did eight years ago, Trump will be emphatic, saying he would only choose from the new slates of candidates if there is a Supreme Court vacancy.

Thanks.
Gorsuch opened the floodgates to the transgender tsunami via his boneheaded decision in Bostock v. Clayton County. We may never be able to contain what came out of Pandora's Box on that one.
Yes
No more fakes and flakes.
I did not know about that one, that is very bad. Thanks for the info.
He should go to state courts to find justices, not federal courts.
Mike Davis would be a good atty. gen., wouldn’t he?
Let’s win first
No problem...
