For all the hand-wringers, fiction authors, sore losers, skeptics, Right-Wing pontiffs, Mark Levin types, Erick Erickson types, liberals, conservatives, defenders of principles and the Constitution, Donald Trump has put forth a list of his picks for Supreme Court Justices.

Steven Colloton of Iowa, Allison Eid of Colorado and Raymond Gruender of Missouri. Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania, Raymond Kethledge of Michigan, Joan Larsen of Michigan, Thomas Lee of Utah, William Pryor of Alabama, David Stras of Minnesota, Diane Sykes of Wisconsin and Don Willett of Texas. Trump had previously named Pryor and Sykes as examples of kind of justices he would choose.

In a statement, Trump said the list “is representative of the kind of constitutional principles I value” and said that, as president, he would use it “as a guide to nominate our next United States Supreme Court Justices.”

Trump had said he would like to appoint judges in the mold of deeply conservative as Scalia, who died in February.

In the statement, he described Scalia as “a remarkable person and a brilliant Supreme Court Justice.”

“His career was defined by his reverence for the Constitution and his legacy of protecting Americans’ most cherished freedoms,” he added. “He was a justice who did not believe in legislating from the bench and he is a person whom I held in the highest regard and will always greatly respect his intelligence and conviction to uphold the Constitution of our country.”

Naturally, the AP article had to point out that all the choices were white.

I’m curious as to how the Trump bashers will respond. I can practically write the response for them, but we’ll see.
