As Republicans mull whether or not to fill the new vacancy on the Supreme Court that opened up after Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, Congressional Democrats are urging their colleagues to hold the seat open until after the election.
On Sunday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Democrats in the lower chamber may take action if President Donald Trump tries to confirm a nominee in a lame-duck session, as IJR reported.
“We have our options; we have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss right now. But the fact is, we have a big challenge in our country. This president has threatened to not even accept the results of the election with statements that he and his henchmen have made,” Pelosi said.
However, she did not rule out impeaching Trump again to prevent him from pushing through a confirmation after potential electoral defeat.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) says he would move to oust Pelosi from her post if Democrats launched another impeachment effort.
During a press conference on Wednesday, McCarthy said, “The president is supposed to move forward, and they will. The Senate is supposed to take the action, and they will. It’s their constitutional right, and they are following through.”
