Trump was elected to restore the rule of law and to Make the Judiciary Great Again. Following the successful confirmation of Justice Neil M. Gorsuch to the Supreme Court of the United States and the nomination of more than seventy Federal judges—including five individuals from his Supreme Court list—President Trump today announced that he is refreshing his Supreme Court list with five additional judges. President Trump will choose a nominee for a future Supreme Court vacancy, should one arise, from this updated list of 25 individuals. The President remains deeply committed to identifying and selecting outstanding jurists in the mold of Justice Gorsuch. These additions, like those on the original list released more than a year ago, were selected with input from respected conservative leaders.<sup id="cite_ref-quotedisclaimer_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-quotedisclaimer-15">[15]</a></sup> </p> </td> <td width="20" valign="bottom" style="border: none; color: #B2B7F2; font-size: 35px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: right; padding: 10px 1px;">” </td></tr> </tbody></table> <p>Remarking on Eid's inclusion in the list of possible <a href="/Donald_Trump" title="Donald Trump">Trump</a> nominees, <i>Colorado Peak Politics,</i> a self-declared conservative blog, praised Eid, saying: </p> <table data-nosnippet="" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none;background-color: transparent; auto; ;"> <tbody><tr> <td width="20" valign="top" style="border:none; color:#B2B7F2;font-size:35px;font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: left; padding: 10px 3px;">“ </td> <td valign="top" style="border: none; padding: 4px 10px;">Eid has consistently stood up for school choice reform, small government and taxpayers against fellow justices who are known for their political activism.

The Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, LLC had filed suit against the Board of Regents of the University of Colorado and other officials, challenging a policy that prohibited anyone other than law enforcement officials from carrying handguns on campus. The students claimed that the policy violated the Colorado Concealed Carry Act and the right to bear arms under the Colorado Constitution.<sup id="cite_ref-opinion_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-opinion-17">[17]</a></sup> </p><p>The trial court dismissed the students' claims, but the Colorado Court of Appeals revived the case. On appeal, Justice Eid said that the CCA allowed permitted handgun owners “to carry a concealed handgun in all areas of the state, except as specifically limited.” Although the CCA prohibited permit holders from carrying handguns onto elementary, middle, or high school property, the act did not specifically exempt University of Colorado property. Justice Eid concluded that because the university was not specifically excluded from the CCA, the legislature did not intend to exempt the university from the CCA's coverage. She wrote that "the CCA’s comprehensive statewide purpose, broad language, and narrow exclusions show that the General Assembly intended to divest the Board of Regents of its authority to regulate concealed handgun possession on campus." Because the court based its ruling on the CCA, it did not consider the students' claims under the Colorado Constitution.<sup id="cite_ref-opinion_17-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-opinion-17">[17]</a></sup> </p> <ul><li>Click <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/2/http://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/ElectionArchives/2008/2008_Abstract.pdf">here (scroll to page 120)</a> for 2008 General Election Results from the Colorado Secretary of State.</li></ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Performance_evaluations">Performance evaluations</span></h2> <p>The Colorado Office of Judicial Performance Evaluation voted unanimously to recommend Eid for retention in 2008.

The score is based on a four-point scale, similar to school grades, where 4 is the highest and 1 is the lowest. Since 1990, which was the first election year after the statutory creation of judicial performance commissions and the use of performance evaluations, all Colorado Supreme Court justices and court of appeals judges standing for retention have been recommended for retention.
