NOMINATIONS/SUPREME COURT: “President Trump said he would nominate a Supreme Court pick on Friday or Saturday [Sep. 25-26] and has five women under consideration, as Senate Republicans lined up behind him and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) and rejected Democrats’ calls to let the winner of the presidential election make the pick.
Mr. Trump maintained that the replacement of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Friday of metastatic pancreatic cancer at the age of 87, should happen swiftly. ‘We won the election and elections have consequences,’ he said Monday morning on Fox News. ‘We have plenty of time.'”
