Blackburn: The President Has the Constitutional Duty To Nominate a New Justice

RUSH EXCERPT:

BLACKBURN: “Yes, I do support that. This is the president’s constitutional duty and 29 times presidents and the Senate of the same party have moved forward and have done the nomination in an election year. You would have to go back to 1882 find a time when they decided to leave a seat vacant. So, one thing you can depend on is the Senate must do its job and those of us in the judicial committee will do our due diligence and prepare properly for the hearing.”
