"The American people should have a say in that by voting for the next President....."
See.....The thing is, the American people
DID have a say. They elected
Donald J Trump to be President (
Yes, he is President so get over it already) for 4 years until January 2021, not for 3 years and 8 months. Donald J Trump
IS President and he should
AND DID nominate a new justice. Now the Senate, which the American people
ALSO had a say in electing for a term ending December 31, 2020, will do their job and advise and consent to the President's, that would be Donald J Trump because the American people had their say and elected him, Supreme Court pick and confirm his pick as the next Justice of the Supreme Court.
