President Donald Trump has already prepared a list of dozens of potential conservative replacements for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died on Friday.
A trio of prominent Republicans serving in the U.S. Senate, Sens. Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley, were included among the new additions to the Trump's list.Cruz has already suggested that he does not want the job, although Trump raised the possibility of the senator being nominated anyway just before news broke of Ginsburg's death during campaign rally on Friday. Trump did not hear of Ginsburg's passing until after Friday's rally.
Hawley also said he had"no interest" in serving on the court after learning that his name had been added to the president's list. Cotton, meanwhile, said that he was"honored" to be on the list and that he would always"heed the call of service to our nation." Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Friday, is pictured while presenting the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Inaugural Woman of Leadership Award to Agnes Gund at The Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. on February 14, 2020.Another potential nominee added to Trump's list is Paul Clement, who served as U.S. solicitor general under the George W. Bush administration.
Women previously named by Trump include Judges Amy Coney Barrett and Diane Sykes of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Joan Larsen of the Sixth Circuit, Judge Allison Eid of the Tenth Circuit and Judge Margaret Ryan of the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. Other federal appeals court judges who were added last week include Judges Bridget Bade and Lawrence VanDyke of the Ninth Circuit, Judges James Ho and Kyle Stuart Duncan of the Fifth Circuit, Judge Allison Jones Rushing of the Fourth Circuit, Judge Peter Phipps of the Third Circuit Court and Judge Gregory Katsas of the D.C. Circuit.
