Clinton doesn't commit to Garland as Supreme Court pick

Hillary Clinton scolded Senate Republicans during Wednesday night’s presidential debate for not holding a vote on President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland. However, the Democratic candidate did not commit to renominating Garland should she get elected and a vacancy remains on the bench. Instead, she left open the question of who she would nominate if given the chance.

“The kind of people that I would be looking to nominate to the court would be in the great tradition of standing up to the powerful, standing on behalf of our rights as Americans. And I look forward to having the opportunity,” Clinton said.
