“Will next Supreme Court justice come from Atlantic Canada?” Kevin Bissett of The Canadian Press has an article that begins, “Officials in Newfoundland and Labrador are lobbying to have the next Supreme Court of Canada justice come from their province, but legal experts say the federal government will likely prioritize race or language over geography.”

And in Thursday’s edition of The Toronto Globe and Mail, Sean Fine had an article headlined “Newfoundland lobbies Ottawa for spot on Supreme Court.”

“Hillary Clinton to attack Rebecca Bradley Saturday night”: Mary Spicuzza of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has an article that begins, “Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will take aim at state Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley during her Saturday night speech at the Founder’s Day Dinner in Milwaukee. Clinton is expected to argue that there’s no place on any court for someone like Bradley, citing the justice’s comments about women, survivors of sexual assault, and gays and lesbians.”

And Shawn Johnson of Wisconsin Public Radio reports that “Kloppenburg Touts Her Impartiality, But Sends Partisan Signals On The Campaign Trail; Appeals Court Judge Says She’s Earned Her Position While Bradley Owes Her Career To Walker.”

“Trump said he plans to announce a list of 10 to 12 judges from which he would pick to fill vacancies on the Supreme Court to allay concerns from conservatives that he wouldn’t choose someone to their liking.” Bob Woodward and Robert Costa of The Washington Post have an article headlined “In a revealing interview, Trump predicts a ‘massive recession’ but intends to eliminate the national debt in 8 years.”

It will be interesting to see how many of those judges are on Twitter.
