America deserves to see Joe Biden’s Supreme Court short list
NY Post, Apr 30, 2020

Liberal activists are pressing Joe Biden to adopt Donald Trump’s “playbook” and release his list of prospective Supreme Court nominees, reports CBS News. So far, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee does not appear to like that idea.

When asked about it, his campaign spokesman dodged the question, noting instead how “Joe Biden was proud to . . . lead the fight against many Reagan judicial nominees … like Judge [Robert] Bork,” while serving as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The ex-veep himself hasn’t offered any real clues either. Asked about the Supreme Court on the campaign trail last year, Biden responded much as his spokesman did, saying only that he had “presided over more Supreme Court hearings than anyone.”

[...]

But Biden’s desire to talk about his “experience” presiding over Supreme Court nominations is just a distraction from what he doesn’t want to talk about: exactly who he would nominate as justices if he is elected president.

Sure, he joked about nominating Barack Obama. But that didn’t satisfy left-wing interest groups like Demand Justice, which are pressuring the Dem wannabe to release a list of possible choices, as Donald Trump did so effectively in 2016. Demand Justice even helpfully suggested its own list of nominees, but Biden has yet to bite.

If I was Joe I'd start with Merrick Garland first.
