Trump, meeting with Federalist Society, indicates he won't veer from Supreme Court shortlists

By RYAN LOVELACE (@LOVELACERYAND) • 11/16/16 2:35 PM

President-elect Trump's advisers are indicating he will likely stick to the shortlists released during the presidential campaign when given the chance to name a Supreme Court nominee.

Trump met with Leonard Leo, the executive vice president of the right-leaning Federalist Society, at Trump Tower on Wednesday and discussed the evaluation process for filling the vacancy created by Justice Antonin Scalia's death. Leo and top Trump aide Kellyanne Conway addressed reporters after the meeting, insisting Trump's list of 21 potential Court nominees has not changed.

"You've seen the list of 21. The list has not changed," Conway told reporters. "President-elect Trump has committed to choosing his Supreme Court justices, particularly the vacancy created by the untimely death of Justice Scalia ... from that list of 21."

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
Does anyone know where Kellyanne Conway stands on the issues? She seems conservative but I don't know.

I get the impression she's able to quiet the beast within of the man that is Trump. She could be a secret weapon if conservative to keep him on the right path, if she can stay as a close advisor.
The Republic is lost.
