President Donald Trump this afternoon released a list with 20 additional names of potential Supreme Court nominees, including three senators: Ted Cruz of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, and Josh Hawley of Missouri.
Another name on the new list was Sarah Pitlyk, who was part of the defense team for Center for Medical Progress head David Daleiden in Planned Parenthood’s case against him for exposing the abortion giant’s sale of organs from aborted babies.
Just in December, the Senate confirmed her nomination to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, defying left-wing attacks on her pro-life public statements.
“Ms. Pitlyk is a towering intellect, a supremely capable lawyer, and a strong Constitutional conservative,” Thomas More Society executive vice president Andrew Bath said at the time. Pitlyk had worked as special counsel for the Thomas More Society.
Trump said during today’s brief speech announcing the new names, “Every one of these individuals will ensure equal justice, equal treatment, and equal rights for citizens of every race, color, religion, and creed.”
He emphasized that all potential Supreme Court nominees would be justices like the late Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito. He did not, in that context, refer to the two justices he nominated himself, namely Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

Will Mr. Biden let the public know his possible appointees to the high court?
I meant that as a real question. But, rereading it, it seems rhetorical.
Of course, he won’t.
My guess for some of Joe Biden’s Supreme Court picks is as follows: Stalin, Hitler, Emperor Nero, Ghengis Khan, Cardinal McCarrick, Margaret Sanger, Kim Jong Un, Osama Bin Laden, and Hillary Clinton. Many of these picks might end up killing off all the other members of the Supreme Court.
A little issue of the election Nov 3, as well as maintaining a majority in the Senate.
Anon’s list of possible candidates is at least out of place if not deplorable. We need to get back to the country we were meant to be: E Pluribus Unum. The divide is ruining the country. We need a Supreme Court that is neutral, not Republican or Democrat, not conservative or liberal, but a defender of the Constitution. Members may interpret laws differently, but that doesn’t make them bad people, just good people with a different point of view about what the Constitution says. I don’t want to know Trump’s or Biden’s list of potential nominees, because that makes the court too political. We saw what happened when the made the Kavanaugh hearings so political. We are a nation of laws. Our officials don’t take an oath to uphold my religion or any other, they don’t take an oath to do anything but protect and defend the Constitution. Only the Constitution, nothing more. If we lose our Constitution we will be just another country.
