Jeb: It’s “not important to me” whether there’s a vote on Obama’s SCOTUS nominee

We began discussing this last night when the tragic news broke about the death of Justice Scalia, and as predicted the question has caught fire already. The President already said he will be nominating someone, but will the Senate take up the question while he is still in office? We have the answer from several presidential candidates already and one of them is Jeb Bush. It's really not that important to him.

JEB BUSH: I think President Obama is going to submit a nominee and in all likelihood this person will be out of the mainstream and he'll be rejected by the Senate. That's his prerogative. He has every right to do it, and the Senate has every right not to confirm that person. That's what I said. He clearly has the power to do it, but given his choice of Supreme Court justices in the past the Senate of the United States should not confirm someone whose out of the mainstream.

DANA BASH: But if I could just clarify, right now it sounds as though...

JEB BUSH: Yeah.

DANA BASH: ...the Republicans who run the Senate aren't even going to schedule a vote. You think that one should be scheduled?

JEB BUSH: It's up to Mitch McConnell. That's really not important to me....

Any vote is dangerous.

Agree. It would be contrary to the best interests of the nation to let an idiot pick another Supreme Court justice. They should have refused to allow him to pick the first two kooks he put on the court.
