Liberals push 2020 Dems to release Supreme Court shortlist
By Tyler Olson | Fox News
A progressive group has released a shortlist of 32 potential Supreme Court nominees in an effort to convince 2020 Democratic presidential candidates to do the same, copying a tactic that helped President Trump shore up his conservative base ahead of the 2016 election.
Demand Justice, the organization behind the list, said in an accompanying statement that Democrats should produce similar lists, not only to emphasize how much they value the Supreme Court -- progressives have assailed Democrats recently for not talking about it enough -- but also to signal a move toward staunchly progressive nominees.
"In releasing this list, we also hope to make clear that the next Democratic president ought to approach the task of nominating judges with a new playbook," the statement read, "one that prioritizes unabashedly progressive lawyers and legal thinkers, who have all too often been pushed aside."
