Wisconsin senator Baldin displeased with republicans

Democrat was in La Crosse
talking Supreme Court nomination

They’re not budging.

After a meeting Tuesday with President Barack Obama, top senate republicans insist there will be no new Supreme Court justice until a new president takes office.

During a recent stop in La Crosse, Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin’s democratic senator thinks the public will force the senate to take action, if too many court rulings end up in a tie, because of the current vacancy

“That will be very disruptive,” Baldwin said.

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, who chairs the judiciary committee, suggests that approving a nominee before the election would be ‘denying the American people’ a voice in the process.

Baldwin calls that position irresponsible, and says that stand shows disrespect for the president:

“We also see a deep disrespect,” Baldwin said, “of our nation’s constitution from some parties who often days are the first to say they’re strict constitutionalists, and in this instance, they’re suggesting they not do their jobs.

During a recent stop in La Crosse, Baldwin predicted that the public would demand action if a court vacancy leads to several tie votes by the Supreme Court.
