Who should Trump nominate for the Supreme Court?
There has been speculation this past week that President-elect Donald Trump has winnowed his initial lists of potential U.S. Supreme Court nominees to fewer than 10. However, Trump said at his Jan. 11 press conference that he was working from a list of 20 potential nominees and hopes to name one within two weeks of being sworn in.
Among judges the pundits have put forth as likely picks: Steven M. Colloton of the St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Thomas M. Hardiman of the Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Joan L. Larsen of the Michigan Supreme Court, William H. Pryor Jr. of the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and Diane S. Sykes of the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
So this week, we’d like to ask you: Who should Trump nominate for the Supreme Court? Someone among the pundit favorites? Someone else from his first list of 11 potential nominees or his second list of 10 potential nominees? Or someone else entirely?

Posted by Mike C: “I read the Wall Street Journal every day. The paper has a book review section as part of its opinion page; plus the Weekend edition includes a section of book reviews. So, yes I read book reviews. I compile my book wish list from those reviews.”
