President Trump says he'll announce Supreme Court pick on Saturday

as Mourners hold nationwide vigils for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Republicans plan for her successor Now. It says the president is supposed to fill the safe right, and that's what we're going to do. We're going to fill the seat that could lead to a supreme fight, she said. My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced by until a new president is installed. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is pressing for a vote, but can likely only lose three GOP senators for the nomination to pass. And there is an elephant in McConnell's room. He created a new rule, the McConnell rules. Absolutely no hearing, No vote for a nominee in election year, period No CAVEATS More than four years ago, McConnell led Republicans who refused toe have a hearing or vote on then President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, saying this appointment should be made by the next president. But the White House says this is a matter of apples and oranges. I reject the notion of hypocrisy is, they said the historical precedent is when your party is in power. The president nominates consistently going back to George Washington. The party has continued to confirm those nominees. I'm John Laurens, reporting
