One of the hallmarks of President Donald Trump’s first campaign and his eventual first term in office was the list of possible Supreme Court nominees. Trump compiled a list of some of the best and brightest conservative legal minds, judges, and attorneys who could be potential selections for the nation’s highest court.
Ultimately, Trump chose conservative jurists Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett – each of whom voted to overturn the infamous Roe v. Wade decision that allowed abortions up to birth nationwide.
That list and his pledge to nominate these conservatives – and his decision to actually put those conservatives on the high court – motivated millions of Americans to vote for Trump in both 2016 and again in 2020.
Now Trump is creating a new list of potential Supreme Court nominees.
As the Washington Times reports:
“I’m going to be putting together a list of judges — great judges — a list of about 20. I think it’s important to reveal who your Supreme Court justices will be,” Mr. Trump told The Times on Tuesday. “There are people who say the list helped me win the election last time.

“Frankly, I think Biden should be doing the same thing,” he said.
And Trump is once again getting help from top conservative legal experts to compile a second list.
Other conservative legal voices have been floated as aiding the former president with his new list this year, such as Article III Project President Mike Davis.
Mr. Davis clerked for Justice Gorsuch and worked on his confirmation to the high court in 2017, as well as the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh while working under Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican and then-chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“President Trump’s most consequential accomplishment of his first term was the transformation of the 5 to 4 left-of-center court to the 5-to-4 Clarence Thomas court, and President Trump will build on that success in his second term with even more courageous appointees to the Supreme Court,” Mr. Davis said.
