People like to make lists.

Here's a fun one: U.S. Supreme Court.

Chad Livengood of the Detroit News reports that GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has added Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Young Jr. to his list of possible nominees for U.S. Supreme Court.

Young is part a new list of 10 judges and attorneys, the News reports.

“It’s news to me,” Young said Friday morning when contacted by The News. “I haven’t been contacted.”

His bio says:

A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School, Young joined Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman in 1978, becoming partner in 1982.  He became vice president, corporate secretary, and general counsel of AAA Michigan in 1992, prior to joining the Court of Appeals in 1995. After joining the court in 1999, Young was elected in 2002 and re-elected in 2010 to a term ending on January 1, 2019.
