Democrats Vow to Block Trump's Supreme Court Picks
Senate Leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats will not allow any right‑wing nominee, raising concerns for voters who prioritize law‑and‑order and national sovereignty.
For many voters who value national sovereignty and law‑and‑order, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, a senator from New York, told the Washington Examiner on Thursday that Democrats will not allow President Donald Trump to appoint any right‑winger to the Supreme Court after they take control of the Senate. “The bottom line is we're not going to allow…”
The Hill reports that this stance could increase pressure on conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas to retire this year, a development that could affect the Court under President Donald Trump.
The Washington Examiner notes that Schumer’s pledge is to block Supreme Court nominees on a partisan basis, and that a vacancy from a retirement or death within the next two years would give President Donald Trump the chance to appoint a new justice.
