Judge Pryor in Alabama is the only one I’ve ever heard of.
But they ALL have to be vastly superior to Hillary’s picks.

And that is how Trump is putting pressure on Clinton and Sanders to name their choices for the bench. It's one-upmanship and forces them to play cards they would both prefer to hold close to their respective vests.

A good chess move on Trump's part.

One has to wonder if all these candidates gave the “okay” to be on this public list.

He is also fulfilling a promise he made during the primaries. It's an honorable move.

Pryor and Sykes, who he had mentioned by name in a debate, are on the list.

Sykes is a fairly good one. Lots of groups opposed her because of her opposition to abortion. All the big pro-aborts hate her. Plus she looks like she was oposed to letting school districts keep taxing their citizens higher and higher without recourse.

I would say shes a good choice.

Looks like Cruz really screwed the pooch for himself.

Of the three you've posted the Wikilinks to so far, none are Ivy League Law School.

One from Duke Law, one from University of Chicago Law, one from Kansas Law.

This is a very good sign, IMO.

Most are non-Harvard/Yale/NYU New Englanders. That’s a good thing.
