Bernie Sanders Says He'd Consider Releasing List of Supreme Court Picks
New York TimesWASHINGTON Senator Bernie Sanders said in an interview that he would consider releasing a list of potential Supreme Court appointees he would name if elected president, and noted that his wife, Jane, also believes he should offer a roster of jurists in the way President Trump did during his 2016 campaign.
Mr. Sanders suggested that it was premature right now to unveil the names of his prospects for the nations highest court got to kind of win the nomination first, he said but he warmed to the idea in an interview with the editorial board of The New York Times.
Its not a bad idea, Mr. Sanders said, noting that his wife, perhaps his most influential adviser, supported it. Its a reasonable idea. My wife agrees with you. Yeah. Ill take that into consideration.
Mr. Sanders, a progressive Vermont senator who remains a political independent, does not face the sort of ideological suspicion that many on the right harbored toward Mr. Trump when he ran, but he is viewed warily by some Democrats. And with polls in the states that begin the presidential nominating process showing him at or near the top of the field, his willingness to name his potential Supreme Court appointments at a moment the court is sharply divided could offer a measure of comfort to uneasy primary voters.
