Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Sunday that he is prepared to leave open the ninth seat on the Supreme Court.
“If the nominee is not bipartisan and mainstream, we absolutely will keep the seat open,” Schumer told CNN’s “State of the Union.”
ADVERTISEMENT The Supreme Court vacancy has been open since last February, when Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia passed away.
Schumer said he is prepared to fight "tooth and nail" should Trump not choose a mainstream nominee.

Your mouth already cost Obama a Supreme Court Nominee and now Harry Reid mouth on after Hillary wins the White House and if you win the Senate the Filibuster rule is out for Supreme Court nominees
Plus the fact the GOP would never stop a Democrat Supreme Court nominee

Anyone “mainstream” to a Democrat would be a McGovernite, Alinksyite or outright commie bastard ... and would be considered the far left in saner times.

I watched this donkeys ass at the inauguration all smiles with President Trump.
Can't wait till he gets his A$$ handed to him.
Also his relative Amy Schumer who once was somewhat cute and mildly funny has turned into the next Rosie Odonnell.
