Schumer privately asked Trump to nominate Merrick Garland to Supreme Court
By John Bowden and Jordain Carney - 07/05/18 12:36 PM EDT

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) privately urged President Trump in a phone conversation to nominate Merrick Garland, former President Obama's Supreme Court nominee from 2016, to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.

A person familiar with the conversation said on Thursday that Schumer told Trump in a phone call that lasted less than five minutes on Tuesday that the move would help unify the country.

The Democratic leader also warned the president against nominating a potential justice to the Supreme Court who would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, stating that such a move would be "cataclysmic" and damaging to Trump's legacy, according to a person familiar with the call, which was first reported by The Washington Post.

Trump nominating Garland has been a concern of mine.  That would be a disaster to all the progress he's made so far in tilting the court to the right.
