Bill Nelson was very clear that he has a constitutional responsibility to fill vacancies on the Supreme Court and now is his chance to commit to Florida voters that he will support President Trump’s pick this evening.
Nelson’s colleagues have already signaled they will filibuster Trump’s decision – even before a decision has been announced – so will he join them and go back on his word from just last year? Or will he stand with Florida voters and support President Trump’s pick?
Nelson: “The Senate Has A Constitutional Responsibility To Fill Vacancies On The Supreme Court…” “The Senate has a constitutional responsibility to fill vacancies on the Supreme Court and I take that responsibility very seriously.” (Sen. Bill Nelson, “Sen. Bill Nelson’s statement on the President’s nominee to the Supreme Court,” Press Release, 3/16/16)
