Reschenthaler blames Clinton for Trump's comments
WASHINGTON — Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Peters, on Friday blamed Democrats who he believes have interfered with President Donald Trump’s administration and want to politicize the courts.
This comes in the wake of Mr. Trump’s comments earlier this week saying he may not support the results of the Nov. 3 election, claiming that there will be widespread voter fraud with mail-in ballots.
In a call with reporters, Mr. Reschenthaler argued it was the Senate’s precedent and constitutional duty to fill the vacant seat left by the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Reports Friday said Mr. Trump would nominate Amy Coney Barrett on Saturday.
The president’s remarks about the upcoming election — fueling expectations of drawn-out legal disputes over the result — is “ever more the reason” for Mr. Trump to fill the judicial seat so the Supreme Court can determine the outcome, Mr. Reschenthaler said.
