A Colorado Supreme Court justice was one of 11 potential nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court released Wednesday by Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump should he be elected.

Allison Eid was appointed to Colorado’s highest court in 2006 by then-Gov. Bill Owens, a Republican, who called her a premier legal scholar.

Prior to her appointment, Eid was the state’s Solicitor General to then-Colorado Attorney General John Suthers, also a Republican.

According to the Colorado Judicial Branch, at the time she joined Colorado’s Supreme Court, Eid was a tenured associate professor of law at the University of Colorado School of Law where she taught constitutional law, legislation and torts.

Eid, from Spokane, Wash., once clerked for current U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and practiced commercial and appellate litigation at the Denver office of the national firm of Arnold & Porter.

She was also one-time speechwriter and special assistant to then-U.S. Secretary of Education William Bennet

The state judicial branch says Eid graduated with an undergraduate degree in American studies from Stanford University in 1987 and with honors from the University of Chicago Law School in 1991.

Her husband, Troy Eid, served as Colorado’s U.S. Attorney and now is in private practice. The couple have two children, according to the Colorado Judicial Branch.

“Justice Eid has no comment and respectfully declines any interviews,” said Rob McCallum, spokesman for Colorado’s court system.

If Trump wins, he plans to vet Eid and 10 other candidates as part of his investigation into who should fill the seat of late Justice Antonin Scalia.

Trump said in a news release that the list was compiled based on constitutional principles, with input from highly respected conservatives and Republican leadership.

Also on the list are: Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania, Raymond Kethledge of Michigan, Joan Larsen of Michigan, Thomas Lee of Utah, William Pryor of Alabama, David Stras of Minnesota, Diane Sykes of Wisconsin and Don Willett of Texas.

Trump had previously named Pryor and Sykes as examples of the kind of justices he would choose.

The news comes as Trump is working to bring together a fractured Republican Party and earn the trust of skill-skeptical establishment Republicans who question his electability in the general election and conservatives in his party still weary of his commitment to their cause, the Associated Press reported.
