President Donald Trump released the names of 20 people he’d be likely to nominate to the Supreme Court of the United States on Wednesday.
If 2020 continues down its godforsaken path and the 45th president is reelected, he may have the chance to nominate a SCOTUS justice.
According to The Hill, Trump read from a list of Supreme Court Justice nominees that included 11th Circuit Judge Barbara Lagoa, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at a press conference in the White House.

Cameron thrust himself into the national spotlight after failing to implement the arrests of the three officers responsible for the March 13 killing of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor. He leveraged the attention on Taylor’s case into a coveted speaking spot at the Republican National Convention.
During his August 25 RNC speech, Cameron mentioned Taylor’s family despite not yet having attained any semblance of justice for the EMT’s grieving loved ones.
Whether you are the family of Breonna Taylor or David Dorn, these are the ideals that will heal our nation’s wounds.

Cameron, endorsed for his role as attorney general by Trump, has only shown minimum interest in discussing Taylor or her case in the past. He joined the president at the White House on June 8 for a discussion surrounding police-community relations and didn’t once mention the 26-year-old once, as Blavity previously reported.
Upon the announcement of the list, Cameron said he was honored to have been included according to The Hill.
“It is an honor to be mentioned by President Trump today. I remain focused on serving the people of Kentucky and delivering on my promise to tackle child abuse, human trafficking, the drug epidemic, and other public safety challenges throughout the Commonwealth,” Cameron said.
