McConnell says Senate will not confirm Garland to Supreme Court
Senate Leader Mitch McConnell said the Republican majority will not hold a confirmation vote on President Obama's Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, even after the November election. He argued a Republican Senate would not confirm a judge who could shift the court left. White House aides expect Garland to stay in the running regardless of November results. Garland, 63, is chief judge of the D C Circuit Court of Appeals and led prosecutions including the Oklahoma City bombing case.
