Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) released a statement Saturday night following the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia that contained a warning shot to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY): Don't play politics with filling vacancies on the Supreme Court bench.
"It would be unprecedented in recent history for the Supreme Court to go a year with a vacant seat," the statement read. "Failing to fill this vacancy would be a shameful abdication of one of the Senate's most essential Constitutional responsibilities."
Read the full statement below:
"There is no doubt Justice Antonin Scalia was a brilliant man. We had our differences and I disagreed with many of his opinions, but he was a dedicated jurist and public servant. I offer my condolences to his family."
"The President can and should send the Senate a nominee right away. With so many important issues pending before the Supreme Court, the Senate has a responsibility to fill vacancies as soon as possible. It would be unprecedented in recent history for the Supreme Court to go a year with a vacant seat. Failing to fill this vacancy would be a shameful abdication of one of the Senate's most essential Constitutional responsibilities."
Really Harry?
Harry Who?
The Nevada Real Estate flipper?
Harry “One Eye”?
Dirty dingy Harry Reid blocked or would not bring for a vote hundreds of bills etc that he didn’t like.
Reid is the king of obfuscations and has a SPF 1000 Constitutional Republic block.
Plus he is a criminal re multi billion dollar deal with his son concerning China in northern Nevada
He should be arrested and tried and convicted and the appropriate punishment applied.
