WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, released Wednesday a list of 11 potential Supreme Court justices he plans to vet to fill the seat of late Justice Antonin Scalia if he's elected to the White House.
The list of conservative federal and state judges includes Steven Colloton of Iowa, Allison Eid of Colorado and Raymond Gruender of Missouri.
WASHINGTON – The executive director of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a nonprofit legal advocacy group that has defended key civil rights cases, has been appointed to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.
Speaker Paul Ryan of the U.S. House of Representatives named Kristina Arriaga de Bucholz, a Cuban-American, to join eight other nongovernmental commissioners on the panel. The members review religious-freedom violations abroad and make policy recommendations to the President, Secretary of State, and Congress. Arriaga replaces Robert P. George of Princeton University.
