Getty Conway: Trump committed to campaign SCOTUS list

President-elect Donald Trump is “committed” to only nominating a Supreme Court justice from his previously disclosed list of potential additions to the high court, his campaign manager said Wednesday.

As the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Trump released a list of 11 potential nominees in May. He expanded his potential selection pool in September with 10 additional names.

“You’ve seen the list of 21. The list has not changed,” Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told reporters Wednesday. “President-elect Trump has committed to choosing his Supreme Court justices, particularly the vacancy created by the untimely death of Justice Scalia. He’s committed to choosing from that list of 21.”

Indeed, Senate Republicans have successfully stonewalled President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February, leaving the court split 4-4 along ideological lines.

Republican senators said immediately in the wake of Scalia’s death that his seat should be filled by the next president, risking the chance that a Democrat might win the election and nominate a more liberal judge. Instead, Trump won, and he will likely be able to choose Scalia’s replacement — and possibly others, should any of the aging justices on the court step down or die in office.

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, however, warned Wednesday that the upper chamber’s Judiciary Committee “will pay very close attention to proposed nominees.” Feinstein will serve as the panel’s ranking member in the next Congress.

“After the unprecedented and disrespectful treatment of Merrick Garland—a moderate judge who should have been quickly confirmed—the committee will pay very close attention to proposed nominees to ensure the fundamental constitutional rights of Americans are protected,” she said in a statement. “When President-elect Trump is willing to support responsible policies and nominees, I’ll hear him out, but this committee has a vital role to protect the Constitution and scrutinize policies, senior officials and judges very carefully, and that’s what we intend to do.”
