That would allow Clinton to appoint someone to the left of Garland.(06-08-2016, 08:34 AM)Bronco80 Wrote: Dear Kelly Ayotte, Susan Collins, Mark Kirk, and Lindsey Graham:
It's good that you're blasting Trump for his horrendous comments about Gonzalo Curiel regarding the Trump University case. But your comments are going to ring hollow unless you do one simple step to ensure that Trump won't have a deleterious effect on America's judiciary: push immediately for Merrick Garland to be confirmed for the Supreme Court. With the four of you, 44 Democratic and 2 independent colleagues, and Joe Biden, it can be done.
Sincerely,

That would certainly be wise for them!
They might do it after Hillary's election. Two of them might be lame ducks by then though, especially if they wait that long to act.
