Off-Topic Senate Crooks: Sen. John McCain says Senate will not confirm any Clinton Supreme Court nominee, later softens pledge
http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/elections/sen-john-mccain-says-senate-will-not-confirm-any-clinton/article_f0ce81a4-41bc-5485-999a-bd8ca04044ed.html An issue that has been mostly absent from this year's Senate campaigns -- the fate of the Supreme Court -- suddenly erupted Monday after Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., indicated during a talk-radio appearance that Republicans would move to block any high-court nominee made by a President Hillary Clinton should the Democratic nominee win ... "Senator McCain believes you can only judge people by their record, and Hillary Clinton has a clear record of supporting liberal judicial nominees," spokeswoman Rachel Dean said. "That being said, Senator McCain will, of course, thoroughly examine the record of any Supreme Court nominee put before the Senate and vote for or against that individual based on their qualifications as he has done throughout his career." Later in the day, during a campaign stop in Chandler, Arizona, McCain avoided the more strident position when responding to a question from local business officials about the court. - - - --Lauren-- Care About Science and Tech?
