Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reportedly asked President Trump to nominate Barack Obamas Supreme Court pick this week; urging the Commander-in-Chief to put forward Merrick Garland to replace outgoing Justice Anthony Kennedy.
According to the Hill, Schumer made the request in private; asking Trump to advance Garland after his nomination process stalled in 2016.
A person familiar with the conversation said on Thursday that Schumer told Trump in a phone call that lasted less than five minutes on Tuesday that the move would help unify the country, writes the Hill.
The Democratic leader penned an editorial in the New York Times in recent days, urging the President to pick a candidate that would uphold key court decision surrounding abortion and Obamacare.
If you do not want a Supreme Court Justice who will overturn Roe v. Wade and undo the Affordable Care Act, tell your senators they should not vote for a candidate from Mr. Trumps preordained list, wrote Schumer.

Does Chuck truly think Trump is suicidal?
Unify? LOL
Even if Trump somehow did a complete 180 and gave the left all they wanted, they would still revile him.
More like “Chuck’s delusion.”
What a kidder! That Chucky. Who says he doesn’t have a sense of humor?
Good luck with that Chuckie.
“That’s a good idea, Chuck. I’ll have to give that some thought. Was there anything else?” - Trump
This is what all the DUmmies were demanding, so Chuck probably just did it so he could score some points with the loony left. I’m sure he didn’t seriously believe the proposal had a chance of going anywhere.
This had 5 minute call had to be 4:58 of Schumer begging and 2 seconds of Trumps reply.
FUChuck Schumer
As. If.
I was thinking more along the lines of 15 seconds of pleasantries, 15 seconds of Schumer making his request, 4 minutes and 25 seconds of Trump laughing hysterically until he can regain his composure, and then 5 seconds to say “No. Bye, Chuck.”
Nothing wrong with asking. Everyone, even President Trump needs a laugh nowI and then.
Need the Goodfellas laughing scene inserted here.
Ten seconds was Chucky making the request and the other 4 minutes 50 seconds was Trump belly laughing....
If Clinton won we would be seeing the middle finger from the left as possibly three justices would have been packed in already.
Chuckie must be hitting the expensive weed.
It appears that this is going to be the entire Democrat argument against whoever Trump nominates, “we oppose because...remember Merrick Garland.” That might work with the far left base, but for the rest of the country Merrick Garland is ancient history (if he is even remembered at all). As long as Trump picks a solid nominee, the argument will fall flat on its face and make Democrats look petty.
So who leaked the call?
That Chuck is a real knee slapper
Former DoJ employee Merrick Garland is a Jamie Gorlick protégé. The Dems want her legacy of destruction to live on.
