Donald Trump said he will soon give voters some insight into the kind of judge he would nominate to fill a Supreme Court vacancy.
During the Palm Beach County Republican Party's Lincoln Day dinner Sunday night at his Mar-a-Lago club, Trump said he will release a list of five to 10 judges that he would "100 percent pick" if faced with a vacancy on the court. They will be "great conservative judges, great intellects, the people that you want," he said, adding that they are people "everybody respects, likes, and totally admires."
