        There is no vacancy currently, of course. And, notably, the updated list includes two of Trump’s recently confirmed nominees — Barrett and Newsom.

        And, obviously, as with the DOJ move today, this is timed to take place during the Federalist Society convention. During the campaign, the #SCOTUS list was the legal right’s greatest success — and Trump’s way of getting them on board.

        This is not a doubling down so much as it is a continued reminder of the point I made last night:https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/931339794256400385 …

        Chris Geidner added,

        Trump makes possible the long-term judicial aims of McConnell, the Federalist Society, and others. The importance of that cannot be overstated.

        Oof. The White House got a bit ahead of itself there — promoting Stras before he’s even had a committee hearing.https://twitter.com/kylecbarry/status/931636015923712000 …

        Notably, one of the new additions to the list is from Alabama: Kevin Newsom ... so expect to hear that being used explicitly in the #ALSen race now.

        David Stras is not on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. His nomination to that court is pending. He hasn't been approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee, let alone the full Senate.

        "Restore the Rule of Law"? Really? All this Administration has done since Jan. 20th is tear the country down. You can start with the State Department & go on from there.

        Timing is also curiously soon after Gov. Ivey said she would vote for Roy Moore so that Republicans could fill vacancies on the SCOTUS.
