Following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the president confirmed Saturday he plans to work with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in immediately securing what will potentially be his third Supreme Court Justice nomination.
McEnany responded to June 30 remarks made by Biden in Wilmington, Delaware, in which the former vice president said he would put forth a list of potential Supreme Court vacancy picks should Ginsburg pass away after he takes office. Biden's list will include at least one Black woman, he said at the time. McEnany said Biden should immediately release a list of his potential picks instead of"telling the current president what to do.
"This president has always been focused on putting people on the court who are Constitution-abiding judges who are textualists, who are originalists, who believe that the words on the pages of the Constitution or a statute are the plain meaning of what they are," McEnany told Fox News."Someone who protects the right to life, someone who protects the Second Amendment, this is a president who is guided by the founding of this country and the Constitution.
McEnany praised the president for having a"legacy" of two Supreme Court Justice nominations already during his tenure, adding that he's also appointed nearly 300 judges to federal benches.
