Sen. Bernie Sanders is not ruling out releasing a shortlist of his potential Supreme Court nominees, seemingly following in the precedent-breaking footsteps of President Donald Trump during his 2016 run.

Sanders agreed last month in a lengthy interview with The New York Times editorial board that releasing a list of potential nominees even before securing the Democratic nomination was “not a bad idea.”

Sanders was also asked how he would wage a confirmation battle for such an ideological nominee if faced with a Mitch McConnell-led Republican Senate after McConnell famously blocked President Barack Obama’s election-year nominee in 2016.

“It is an important question and the answer is you fight for that person,” he said. “And you make the case to the American people — not that I’ve appointed that person, not just because I like him or her, but these are the values that that person has and why we need that person on the Supreme Court.”

Bernie Sanders will never get the chance to nominate anyone for the Supreme Court in his lifetime.

Bernie has a snowball's chance in hell of getting the Deez nomination. Especially after the Veritas scandal coming out tomorrow.
