President is said to have expanded his list of candidates to fill Justice Stephen Breyer's seat on the Supreme Court to a dozen potential choices, all of whom are black women.A initial short list named at least three potential candidates, and now is reporting that the list has expanded to include nine more potential picks, making the list at least 12 names long, with some of the potential candidates still waiting approval to a prior court appointment.The new candidates include a judge Ted Cruz called an 'activist advocate'; a civil rights attorney who compares bans on felons voting to slavery, while comparing a need to show 'proof of citizenship to vote' to 'voter suppression'; an NYU professor who was in favor of impeaching and called New York City Mayor 's defense of the president during the trial a 'death spiral of stupid'; and a North Carolina Supreme Court justice who founded a group that provides lawyers to social justice advocates.
