Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., says he has “no doubt” Senate Republicans will hold firm and not consider a successor to Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court until a new president takes office.
“You’ve got to go all the way back to 1888 before you actually nominated and confirmed a Supreme Court justice in the last year of a presidency,” Perdue told me in an on-camera interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC. “So what we’re about here is the principle. I don’t see any wavering going on.”
You’ve also got to hear what Perdue, who took office a little over a year ago, says Congress needs to do about “disaffected” Americans who think they’re shut out of what goes on in Washington.
