Trump: You bet I’d fill another SCOTUS seat

Jazz ShawPosted at 12:41 pm on June 25, 2019Trump: You bet I’d fill another SCOTUS seat

Not that we have word of any openings coming up on the Supreme Court in the immediate future, but it always pays to be prepared, right? Particularly when you have several justices in their septuagenarian or even octagenarian years and one of them regularly talks about packing up his RV and touring the country. But given the politically poisonous mood currently gripping both Congress and the nation, would President Trump really want to open that can of worms and introduce a new nominee if someone suddenly retired? Oh, baby… you know he’s champing at the bit. (The Hill)

Quote
    President Trump on Monday said he would make a nomination to the Supreme Court if there’s a vacancy before the 2020 presidential election.

    “Would I do that? Of course,” Trump said in an exclusive interview with The Hill when asked if he would try to fill a high court vacancy during election season.

    The position is an apparent reversal for the president, who as a candidate in 2016 backed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) decision to block former President Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the high court.

While he may not get a nomination through the Senate, he owes it to his voters to make it.
