“I understand the politics of the situation, I think that many Republican members of the senate believe that,get out the vote move. They can indicate that they're strong for their base. But the Constitution's pretty clear. The president Donald Trump has to nominate someone. The senate can choose to disapprove. There's nothing in their Constitution that says the grounds upon which they must vote. But to refuse even to meet with the individual, or to have the process go forward, that's just pure politics.” ThinkingBelieveMovingIndividualStrongPresidentSituationRepublicanVoteConstitution Author:Martha Minow
“I have to be honest and say members of both political parties have contributed to de-legitimization of the process. Even President Barack Obama when he was a senator, contributed to it, in the sense of voting against a well-qualified individual because he disagreed with the view. Again, that's the prerogative of the senators. They're allowed to express their views on any basis.” PoliticalIndividualPresidentPartyHonestBarackBeing HonestVotingPolitical PartiesPresident Barack Obama Author:Martha Minow
