Just months ago Sherrod Brown and his liberal colleagues were tripping over themselves to tell us that the Senate had a duty to vote on a President’s nominees to the Supreme Court. Brown was especially vocal on the issue, even going so far as to call a failure to consider a nominee disrespectful to the Constitution.
But now that President Trump is the one nominating justices, Senate Democrats are singing a different tune, promising to block his pick and hold the vacant seat open for the next four years. So will Sherrod Brown go along with the far left’s plan to filibuster? Or will he stand by his words and work to ensure swift consideration?
Senator Brown’s previous views on SCOTUS vacancies:
Brown Said Obstructing The Confirmation Of A Supreme Court Nominee Is “Disrespectful To The Voters, Disrespectful To The President, And Disrespectful To The Constitution.” (Senator Sherrod Brown, “Brown: Senators Owe Nominee A Hearing,” The Cincinnati Enquirer, 3/17/16)
