Trump right here, i dont think any of us would have the voice that we have.

President reagans tom knee 1988. But kennedys case was an unusual one. The vacancy came in july 1987, when Justice Lewis powell resigned.

The Senate Confirmed him three months later, 970. Democrats say with 11 months left in obamas presidency, theres plenty of time to confirm a justice. And jon karl with us from the white house tonight. And jon, a reporter asking the president , should we assume you will nominate a mod rat. How did the president answer . Reporter well, he said we should make no assumptions. But the bottom line here is, the president has a choice. He can nominate a liberal who would energize democrats during had election year, or dominate a moderate who has had bipartisan is up support. Direction, making it harder for republicans to reject that person, because its somebody republicans have supported in the past. Making it clear that nomination is coming.
