The Latest: Democrats reject White House invitation

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump’s nomination of a Supreme Court justice (all times local):

 

4:35 p.m.

 

Three Democratic senators sure to face tremendous pressure over whether to back President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee have been invited to Monday’s White House announcement of the pick. But Indiana’s Joe Donnelly, North Dakota’s Heidi Heitkamp and West Virginia’s Joe Manchin all say they won’t attend.

 

All face tough re-election races this November in states Trump won easily in 2016.

 

All three states lean heavily Republican. But nearly all Senate Democrats and many Democratic voters are expected to oppose Trump’s nominee. They say the person would likely take strongly conservative views on issues like abortion and health care.

 

The White House would love to have the Democrats’ votes for confirmation. Issuing the invitations makes the lawmakers choose between humoring voters who think they should be bipartisan and others who feel they shouldn’t condone Trump’s pick.

 

4:10 p.m.

 

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas says Republicans know they’re in for a contentious battle to confirm President Donald Trump’s nominee to serve on the Supreme Court, but “won’t back down from the fight.”

 

Cornyn, the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, says it’s “extremely disappointing” that some Democrats have made clear they’ll oppose the nominee even before the president announces his choice.

 

Cornyn says Democrats have pledged to stop the nominee at all costs, but “we will see President Trump’s nominee confirmed on a timely basis.”

 

Cornyn spoke shortly after Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said any of Trump’s likely nominees poses a threat to the Affordable Care Act and a woman’s right to have an abortion.

 

Senators are trying to frame the debate before Trump’s 9 p.m. announcement.

When they talk about … "it's about the love" … it's about loving God enough to know he will sort out the evil. Your heart, your love surrounding, protecting and guiding it … is what matters most. So forgive it up to God, and ask he take it off your heart. You move on with a healthy love for life, you and those who need it.

 

Do not clutter it up with unforgivable's. It's all about you at this point.

The family flying in with her is, Potus's idea? Or did she just want to take an opportunity to vaca in DC for the week, no matter if she is chosen or not.

 

Hmmmm…did Potus fly in only Neil Gorsuch's family when he was making his choice last time?

Next justice joining at time of confidence in Supreme Court

WASHINGTON (AP) — The next Supreme Court justice will join the bench at a time when the public has relatively more confidence in the high court than in Congress or the presidency.

 

A Gallup survey in June found that 37 percent of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in the court, while another 42 percent had “some” confidence. Only 18 percent had little or no confidence.

 

Those are sterling marks compared with the court’s neighbor on Capitol Hill: Just 11 percent of Americans say they have confidence in Congress, and nearly half say they have little or none.

 

Confidence in the White House is on par with that of the Supreme Court — though 44 percent of Americans have little or no confidence in the presidency.

Confidence was way low when the liberal activist judges like, Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Elena Kagan. were appointed too. AP has a short memory.

The most interesting late development in Trump’s Supreme Court derby

 

By Aaron Blake

July 9 at 7:00 AM

 

When President Trump's political obituary is written, you can bet the decision he makes Monday about a Supreme Court justice will be pretty high up. The person Trump will nominate at 9 p.m. is in line to create a clear 5-to-4 conservative majority on the nation's highest court.

 

But much like his entire presidency, there are no assurances it will go smoothly. Trump will nominate a justice who could set the course of the country for years and decades to come — for good or ill, depending upon your viewpoint — but a late development this weekend reinforces that the decision isn't destined to be a home run.

 

Trump said Sunday that his pick was down to four people — apparently re-adding 2017 runner-up Thomas Hardiman to the reported final three of Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett and Raymond Kethledge. Kavanaugh and Barrett have been thought to be the two front-runners, but some conservatives have balked at Kavanaugh and others have worried that Barrett could risk what should be a successful nomination.

Trump to Name Supreme Court Nominee: What to Watch

By NOAH WEILANDUPDATED 4:42 PM

 

• President Trump is set to announce his Supreme Court nominee to replace the retiring Justice Anthony M. Kennedy at 9 p.m. Monday.

 

• Mr. Trump is deciding among four finalists, all federal appellate judges: Amy Coney Barrett of the Seventh Circuit, Brett M. Kavanaugh of the District of Columbia Circuit, Raymond M. Kethledge of the Sixth Circuit and Thomas M. Hardiman of the Third Circuit. All four were on a list of 25 candidates the White House compiled with input from the conservative Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation.

 

• Mr. Trump considers the pick a key moment of his presidency, and was pushing his decision into the final hours before his self-imposed Monday night announcement deadline.

 

Trump expressed renewed interest in Hardiman as he continued weighing the finalists.

On Sunday, The New York Times reported that Mr. Trump had expressed renewed interest in nominating Judge Hardiman, who was the runner-up to Judge Neil M. Gorsuch as the president’s first Supreme Court nominee in January 2017.

 

Mr. Trump was inspired by Judge Hardiman’s biography, according to people close to the process, and has considered the recommendation of his sister, Judge Maryanne Trump Barry, who served with Judge Hardiman on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
