“It’s not a bad idea,” Sanders told The New York Times.
“It’s a reasonable idea. My wife agrees with you,” he added. “Yeah. I’ll take that into consideration.”

Sanders added that it’s too soon to reveal such a list now, telling the newspaper’s editors that he’s “got to kind of win the nomination first.”

The executive director of Demand Justice, a progressive nonprofit group, on Monday called Sanders’s comments “a step in the right direction.”
“Releasing a Supreme Court shortlist would help voters understand how a candidate would deal with one of the most important issues facing the country and mobilize voters around a progressive vision for the courts,” Brian Fallon said in a statement.
“As the field narrows, all presidential candidates should prioritize the courts if they want to show voters they have a real plan to protect any of their other ideas from a hijacked judiciary. The moderators at this week’s Democratic primary debate should ask other candidates whether they will release a list of Supreme Court nominees.”
