However, speculation continues about Justice Samuel Alito, 76, who was hospitalized in March.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said he has a short list of nominees ready to go, but it is not certain whether there will be any changes to the court&#8217;s nine members before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; the president told Fox Business&#8217; Maria Bartiromo in an interview that aired Wednesday. &#8220;Justice Alito is in excellent physical health, as you mentioned his name.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump said Democrats made a mistake with Ruth Bader Ginsburg.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You make the case at a certain point that you give it up so you can get justice&#8230; (with your ideology, your policies)&#8230; but it&#8217;s probably not easy for people to give up. Ginsburg couldn&#8217;t do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump said that, theoretically, he could have three more options before his term ends.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It could be two, it could be three, it could be one. I don&#8217;t know, I&#8217;m willing to do it,&#8221; Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump praised Alito&#8217;s leadership on the court.<\/p>\n<p>Trump appointed three justices in his first term: Neil Gorsuch in 2017, Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, and Amy Coney Barrett in 2020 after Ginsburg&#8217;s death. Ginsburg died 46 days before the November 2020 election, which was won by President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court currently has a 6-3 conservative majority, but as Trump has repeatedly noted, they don&#8217;t always vote together on major issues.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was disappointed with the High Court&#8217;s decision in the tariff case. In February, a divided court found that the president overstepped his authority by imposing billions of dollars of tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative Justices Barrett and Gorsuch joined Chief Justice John Roberts in the majority opinion, along with liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Kentazie Brown Jackson. Justices Clarence Thomas, Kavanaugh and Alito dissented.<\/p>\n<p>After that decision, Trump publicly ridiculed Gorsuch and Coney Barrett.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Two of the people who voted for this, I appointed, and they make me sick,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;They make me sick because they&#8217;re bad for our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hours after the high court&#8217;s tariff ruling, Trump imposed a 10% global entry tariff, which has been challenged by states and small businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has also publicly expressed displeasure over how the Supreme Court will rule on a case related to his executive order on birthright citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>On the first day of his second term, Trump signed an order denying citizenship to children born in the US unless the parents are US citizens or green card holders. Several states challenged the order and four federal judges have blocked it.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in that case on April 1. The decision is expected by summer and could have a significant impact on US immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Reprinted with permission from Center Square.<\/p>\n<div class=\"worthy-pray-wrap\" wp_automatic_readability=\"6\">\n            <button class=\"worthy-pray-cta\" type=\"button\" data-post=\"113683\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.worthynews.com\/113683-trump-says-hes-ready-to-nominate-up-to-three-supreme-court-justices\" data-title=\"Trump Says He\u2019s Ready To Nominate Up To Three Supreme Court Justices\" aria-pressed=\"false\" aria-live=\"polite\"><\/p>\n<p>                lift it up in prayer<br \/>\n            <\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"worthy-pray-stats\" wp_automatic_readability=\"7\">\n                <img width=\"120\" height=\"120\" class=\"worthy-pray-icon-img\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" www.w3.org=\"\" 2000=\"\" svg\"%20viewbox=\"0%200%20120%20120\" %3e%3c=\"\" svg%3e\"=\"\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/worthynews-1fe3e.kxcdn.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/worthy-pray-button\/assets\/pray-icon.png\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" class=\"worthy-pray-icon-img\" src=\"https:\/\/worthynews-1fe3e.kxcdn.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/worthy-pray-button\/assets\/pray-icon.png\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    7                <\/p>\n<p>                    People are praying right now.\n                <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width:95%;margin:20px auto;padding:15px;border:2px solid #523F7D;border-radius:10px;background-color:#f5f5f5;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#333;line-height:1.6;\" wp_automatic_readability=\"13\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;font-size:16px;\">\n<p>    \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Do you know?<\/strong> One of the best ways you can support<br \/>\n    <span style=\"color:#523F7D;font-weight:bold;\">meaningful news<\/span> Simply by leaving a comment and sharing this article.\n  <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:10px 0 0;font-size:16px;\">\n<p>    \ud83d\udce2 Social media algorithms push content when there is more engagement \u2013 \u200b\u200bso every \ud83d\udc4d like, \ud83d\udcac comment and \ud83d\udd04 share helps more people discover the truth. \ud83d\ude4c\n  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"descriptorhead\">latest lol news<\/h3>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 14 April 2026 | 11:46 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Christian family&#8217;s house set on fire after dispute in Pakistan, raising concerns over security of minorities\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 14 April 2026 | 11:41 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Church leader almost killed in Karnataka attack amid increasing pressure on Christians\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 14 April 2026 | 11:35 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Historic Israel-Lebanon talks open door to potential peace deal\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 14 April 2026 | 11:27 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        The IMF has warned that the global economy could head into recession as energy markets are disrupted by the Iran war.\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 14 April 2026 | 11:20 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        More ships headed to US, thousands of troops to aid Iranian blockade\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 14 April 2026 | 11:00 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        DOJ report accuses prosecutors of misconduct in abortion clinic protest cases\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 14 April 2026 | 10:52 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        As war pressure on Iran increases, US blockade continues, signs of diplomacy emerging\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 14 April 2026 | 9:16 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Europe plans Hormuz security mission without US\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div class=\"newsaw\" id=\"post-Posted 14 April 2026 | 2:37 pm\">\n                <strong><\/p>\n<p>                        Mossad chief: Pledges mission will continue until fall of Iranian regime\t\t\t\t\t <\/strong>\n            <\/div>\n<div data-rocket-location-hash=\"8ec92e9c967c525281e46c565df5f1da\" class=\"mobile-total\" wp_automatic_readability=\"11.0395256917\">\n<div style=\"font-size:1.1em;
