A senior White House official says President Trump will push for the swift confirmation of a Supreme Court justice "before the midterm elections."

A list of well-established conservatives is in place, so a nomination is expected to come "within weeks," the official said.

“Within weeks”? Better make it “days”, Trump. A 4-4 court is setting you up for a lot of lower court BS to try and further stall and derail items like the travel ban and immigration.

AWESOME! Get ready for riots. Kennedy is the squish on the Court. The Left is going to go completely mental at the thought of a 2nd Trump pick

This is what I love about Trump, he gets things done. Any other GOP President would get all wobbly kneed and say they need to wait until after November. Trump correctly has the confidence to move forward with a conservative nominee and once again make the Libs look like they block anything and everything.

“The List” from 2016 is still valid. Pick a name and tell McTurtle to get ‘er done.

Just heard Rush postulate that the (D)'s will say no vote on SCOTUS replacement until after the Mueller report is finished....which might take another 9 months to finish.
