The White House announced Friday that President Trump has added five judges to his running list of possible Supreme Court nominees, touting Trump's successful nomination of conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch to the bench.
The updated list of 25 judges includes Judge Amy Coney Barrett from the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, a former clerk for the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
Barrett, a vocal opponent of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision who has referred to it as an "erroneous decision," was confirmed to her post by the Senate in October.
Trump also added Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the appeals court for the District of Columbia, the nation's second most powerful court, who clerked for Justice Anthony Kennedy.
Kavanaugh has been rumored before as a possible Republican nominee for the high court.
The list includes two state Supreme Court justices: Britt Grant of Georgia and Patrick Wyrick of Oklahoma. Grant previously clerked for Kavanaugh at the D.C. Appeals Court.
Former Alabama Solicitor General Kevin Newsom is another recently confirmed judge on the list. He currently serves as the judge for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Carrie Severino, chief counsel and policy director for the conservative Judicial Crisis Network, was quick to praise Trump for the additions, calling the candidates the "best and brightest judges in the nation."

Judge Amy Coney Barrett will cause a cataclysmic melt.

I know that Lee is on his list. When will he add Ted Cruz?

Sure wish Cruz was in there.

If he's updating the list of prospective judges, he must feel like he's going to get the chance to appoint one very soon.

If you're going to throw baseless accusations around, do so correctly.
It's bald faced liar. I'll use it in a sentence for you.
Disgraced former president obama was a bald faced liar.

I suspect everyone on this board has told a lie at one time or another. Maybe more than one.
Ted Cruz votes exactly how I would vote if I were a senator. Those are the people I want making decisions that impact me.

She would be Bork all over again in confirmation hearings.
The left would go apeshite despite her being a woman... because she wouldn't be a "real" woman just like Thomas wasn't a "real" black guy to them.

Breyer, Kennedy and Ginsburg need to get to dying.

Not sure where my dad heard it, likely on talk radio, but he texted me last night that Kennedy was thinking about retiring after Thanksgiving.

Stand by for the list of "victims" of something or other in their past. "Barrett's high school friend remembers her as a 'chronic litterer' who hated nature...more news at 10:00"
