Republican Senator Gardner says he will vote for a 'qualified' Supreme Court nominee
Source: Reuters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Republican Senator Cory Gardner said on Monday he would vote for a qualified nominee to the Supreme Court, suggesting he is not in favor of waiting for the winner of the Nov. 3 presidential election to name a replacement for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
I have and will continue to support judicial nominees who will protect our Constitution, not legislate from the bench, and uphold the law, Gardner said in a statement. Should a qualified nominee who meets this criteria be put forward, I will vote to confirm.

(54,335 posts)"Qualified" to him means, right wing, Catholic, against the right of the individual and for the rights of the State or the corporation instead, for the death penalty, against a required proof of guilt, and for the right of the state to trample the rights of any individual citizen as long as they are not a member of the Republican Party.
The Framers, needless to say, had another definition of "qualified" in mind. Go Hickenlooper!
