SUPREME COURT VACANCY
The Trump transition team confirmed he would choose from a list of 21 names he drew up during his campaign, including Republican U.S. Senator Mike Lee of Utah, and William Pryor, a federal judge with the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Thanks for putting the list of appointments together, SC.
Laura Ingraham was laughing this morning, she was listening, watching FBC while she was getting ready for work.
She said Wilbur Ross and Steve Mnuchin were both on and announced they were both chosen for cabinet positions.
She was laughing since they have not been officially announced yet.
Good morning and thanks for the list! :)
Odd there’s only one person for US Trade Rep. Meh, I know someone who’s familiar with non-ferrous metals, China, and the EU.
