Bernie Sanders: I Have No Hope Trump Will Appoint a Moderate Justice to SCOTUS

‘I hope that they will work with those of us who hold that position in opposition to any nominee who wants to take away that basic right that women should have’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "I have no hope that he will appoint anything resembling a moderate justice who will take both sides into consideration. What we are look for is the nomination of a right wing extremist. I would say this, you may recall that when Merrick Garland’s nomination was brought forth, President Obama said let the American people decide. You obstructed it and refused to allow a vote to take place. I would say to Mitch McConnell remember what you said when Obama was president. Let the American people have a vote. Whether or not they want to overturn roe V. Wade or allow discrimination against the gay and lesbian community. Whether or not they want votes to remain harder. The second point that I would make is that we have some, few, very few but we have some Republicans here in the Senate who believe that it should be a woman who controls her own body and not the state or federal government. And I hope that they will work with those of us who hold that position in opposition to any nominee who wants to take away that basic right that women should have."
