Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) floats the possibility of Donald Trump getting a second SCOTUS pick. Anthony Kennedy is likely to retire. |
When Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland in 2016 during an election year, Republicans halted the nomination. They plotted to hold up nominees if Hillary Clinton became the president. Now as Donald Trump took control, he quickly picked Neil Gorsuch as the nominee. The Democrats tried to filibuster the nomination and Republicans overruled it. The forced a simple majority on this crucial nomination for the Court.
The Republicans aided by three Democrats managed to get Gorsuch through.
The Democrats were angered that Garland was delayed and eventually withdrawn.
Oh goody, I get to pick another judge. Trump could get a second Supreme Court pick. |
Heller is an embattled senator. He won't support gun control despite the Las Vegas massacre.
Heller will spook his constituents.
