Two Senate Democrats On Judiciary CMTE Will Not Meet With Trump's SCOTUS Pick
William James
Two Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee are refusing to meeting Trump's SCOTUS pick.
Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) and Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) do not believe she's legitimate and do not want to put any stamp of approval on her nomination.
Two Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee will not meet with Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump's nominee to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Sens. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), two of the 10 Democrats on the panel, will not hold informational meetings with Barrett. The meetings aren't required, but they are a tradition, and they allow for a senator to privately question a Supreme Court pick before a hearing.
