Trump’s updated Supreme Court list focuses heavily on religious liberty and abortion
(Worthy News) – President Trump’s updated list of potential Supreme Court nominees places heavy emphasis in its selection on people who have been deeply involved in cases concerning religious liberty and abortion.
The 20 people added to a list Trump released in 2017 before the nomination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh include senators, attorneys, and judges, many of the latter class being Trump appointees. Trump’s list also included two former solicitor generals, Paul Clement and Noel Francisco, as well as Daniel Cameron, Kentucky’s attorney general, who delivered a breakout speech at the Republican National Convention.
Both Clement and Francisco have defended Republican administrations in court. Clement, who served under President George W. Bush, held the record for most cases argued before the Supreme Court from 2000 to 2011, earning him comparisons to basketball star LeBron James. More recently, Clement has taken on a slew of religious liberty cases, including the defense in the long-running Little Sisters of the Poor Saints Peter and Paul Home v. Pennsylvania dispute and Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, a 2013 case in which the court determined that closely held corporations did not have to provide abortion-causing contraceptives to employees.
