It’s being reported that on President Trump list for possible Supreme Court pick are three top conservatives including U.S. Senators Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Tom Cotton. The left is sure to foam at the mouth with these choices, and although they aren’t as far right as some may like in the ‘America First’ movement, it’s probably as good as it could get for Supreme Court picks. Henry Rodgers broke the scoop:
NEW: Sens. Tom Cotton, Josh Hawley, and Ted Cruz all have been added to Trump’s list of potential #SCOTUS picks.

Sara Carter reported on her site:
Trump pointed out in his remarks that Democrat Nominee Joe Biden has refused to release a list of his potential picks, likely because, Trump argues, the names are too radical and would alter the state of America with decisions impacting the second amendment, free speech, and religious liberty, among others.
