Hillary Clinton supporter and CNN commentator Bakari Sellers says that Donald Trump’s list of people he would put on the Supreme Court puts “fear” in Democrats because they are so conservative.

Appearing on CNN’s “Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer” on Wednesday, Sellers said that “one of the things that sticks out first and foremost is that this list is comprised of jurists that are extremely conservative.” (RELATED: Trump Releases List Of People He Would Nominate For Supreme Court)

Included in Trump’s list are Steven Colloton of Iowa, Allison Eid of Colorado, Raymond Gruender of Missouri, Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania, Raymond Kethledge of Michigan, Joan Larsen of Michigan, Thomas Lee of Utah, William Pryor of Alabama, David Stras of Minnesota, Diane Sykes of Wisconsin and Don Willett of Texas.

Blitzer commented on that list suggesting that even supporters of Sen. [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore] who were “concerned about Donald Trump… may have been reassured.”

Sellers added, “You look at the justices or jurists that he put on the list and it makes Democrats fear Donald Trump even more. It makes us think about overturning Roe v. Wade, it makes us think that we won’t be able to take those steps in overturning Citizens United. So think that it will prove to energize the base.”
