The potential Supreme Court nominees on President Trump's shortlist tend to have several qualities in common: Many have links to the Federalist Society and hold socially-conservative views on issues like abortion and even access to contraception

With weeks to go before November’s election, he can now mobilize his base on behalf of a new potential Supreme Court justice. The president has put forward a number of names over the years, with the most recent shortlist arriving earlier this month.

Below are a few of the names that have appeared on Trump’s shortlist over the years. This isn’t an exhaustive list of potential nominees, but it does offer some introductory insight into the political fight that waits ahead. Paul Clement Clement, a former U.S. solicitor general, appeared on Trump’s most recent list of potential nominees. His legal record is marked by his commitment to an expansive definition of religious liberty. He defended the Little Sisters of the Poor in their successful lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act’s contraception mandate, and represented a coalition of Republican-controlled states in a challenge to the same provision of the ACA.

Protesters gather outside Kentucky Supreme Court during case on coronavirus restrictionsAs the Kentucky Supreme Court decides a case on Governor Andy Beshear's coronavirus restrictions, demonstrators gathered outside the building to protest the governor's orders. The 'tyrant' is the human cesspool in the White House. The peasants are storming the wrong Bastille. This virus will never get under control, let alone go away, with ppl who have politicized wearing a mask & any kind of shut down. I live in NY (not NYC). I wonder if KY ppl would wear a mask if they knew NY tax money wasn’t going to come their way unless they wear a mask. Hmmm... you know, I watched your piece on this and how you described Kentucky's AG, you called him the AG....who was a Republican, I see why you left his name out, because heaven forbid, the left not describe the facts! kyoag

Pennsylvania Supreme Court sides with Democrats on absentee ballot deadline and drop boxesThe Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended the state's absentee ballot deadline and approved of the use of mail-in ballot drop boxes, a legal win for Democrats in the key battleground state. Terrible. The USPS has stopped home delivery service anyway. Absentee ballots are a terrible idea. So surprised. So much easier to cheat. Dems know they have to cheat to win. The Court just allowed the Democratic Party to steal PA. PA State government corrupt top to bottom. Tampering with the election. As obvious as a rainy day.
