3 Surprising Names Show Up On Trump’s Supreme Court List

Aaron Bandler

Real estate mogul Donald Trump’s list of possible Supreme Court nominees was for the most part well-received by conservatives, but there were three names on the list that were rather surprising, since they have connections to vocal Trump critics. Here are the three names.

1. Diane Sykes. Sykes, who was nominated to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2003 by President George W. Bush, is surprising because she is the ex-wife of Wisconsin radio host Charlie Sykes, who had his moment in the spotlight for hammering Trump relentlessly and helped pave the way for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to win the state primary. It doesn’t appear that Trump has her on the list to stick it to the radio host, as Sykes has tweeted: “Diane would be an outstanding choice. Would make a great justice. But I simply don’t believe Trump.”
