McConnell: We'll Vote on Kennedy's Successor in the Fall; Schumer: Not in an Election Year

(CNSNews.com) - Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the Senate "stands ready to fulfill its constitutional role by offering advice and consent on President Trump's nominee" -- not yet named -- to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court.

"We will vote to confirm Justice Kennedy's successor this fall," McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor.

Following McConnell to the podium, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called it "the most important Supreme Court vacancy for this country in at least a generation.”

Since Schumer controls the Senate, including McConnell, I believe what he says.
