Clinton: Calls To Delay SCOTUS Nomination 'Dishonor Our Constitution'

[book_worm]

"My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Justice Scalia as they mourn his sudden passing. I did not hold Justice Scalia’s views, but he was a dedicated public servant who brought energy and passion to the bench," Clinton said.

"The Republicans in the Senate and on the campaign trail who are calling for Justice Scalia’s seat to remain vacant dishonor our Constitution," the former secretary of state continued. "The Senate has a constitutional responsibility here that it cannot abdicate for partisan political reasons."

3. Verrilli

Verrilli is probably out because I can't see the Senate approving him after all the efforts to repeal the ACA. They might float him first, then offer up Srinivasan as the alternative.

4. If the GOP plays games with the confirmation, then the Democrats should be able to retake the Senate
