Josh Hawley:
He’s got a choice — is he going to nominate a pro-America, pro-Constitution justice, or is he going to keep doing what he’s doing and divide this country with a hard woke-left activist? we’re about to find out. I hope Republicans are ready to stand up for the Constitution.
-
Associated Press:
Other things equal, I think it would be good if Biden nominated an originalist, though there certainly can be originalists whose positions on particular important legal issues are sufficiently bad that I might rather have a living constitutionalist nominee, instead (depending on the particular type of living constitutionalist), originalism is not a bullet-proof guarantee against grave error. Regardless, I think it’s very unlikely Biden will nominate an originalist.
-
Hillary Clinton:
Barack Obama is president of the United States until January 20, 2017, that is a fact, my friends, whether the Republicans like it or not. Elections have consequences. The President has a responsibility to nominate a new justice and the Senate has a responsibly to vote. And all of us Democrats, we have a responsibly to make sure a Republican doesn’t win in November and rip away all of the progress we have made together.
-
Marco Rubio:
As we look ahead, it must be a priority of the next president to nominate judges and justices committed to applying the Constitution as written and originally understood.
-
Joe Biden:
The person I will nominate will be someone with extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity. And that person will be the first Black woman ever nominated to the Supreme Court, it’s long overdue, in my view. I made that commitment during the campaign for president, and I will keep that commitment.
