Republicans already threatening to block Harris from making SCOTUS picks [View all]

Republicans are already threatening to block Kamala Harris from nominating justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Two of the leading candidates to replace Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell refused to commit to allowing a confirmation vote for a Harris nominee if she's elected president and Republicans retake the Senate majority, reported CNN.

“It depends,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). “Obviously, they would have to go through the committee process, and so it would depend on that, and then I think it would also depend on who the president nominates.”
