White House: Ample time to confirm Supreme Court pick
The White House rejected claims of too little Senate time to confirm a nominee after Justice Scalia's death. Josh Earnest cited 113 remaining legislative days and prior timelines for Sotomayor and Kagan, saying four to five weeks of review is typical before an announcement. He noted no fixed date but did not rule out this week. Senate leaders urged caution as partisan fights loom through year end.
