Ron Johnson meets with Garland, stands firm against nominee

preview

Bill GlauberMilwaukee Journal SentinelView CommentsU.S. Sen. Ron Johnson said Tuesday that he had a 'very cordial meeting' with U.S. Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland but indicated that he hasn't changed his mind about opposing President Barack Obama's pick.'My advice to President Obama and the rest of my Senate colleagues has not changed. Let the American people have a voice in the composition of the Supreme Court,' Johnson said in a statement.The nearly hourlong meeting was held in Johnson's Senate office.Johnson and most of his fellow Senate Republicans have set up a blockade against Garland, chief judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. They oppose Obama filling the vacancy left by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.'Instead of a lame duck president and Senate nominating and confirming, a new president and Senate — elected by the people only a few months from now — should make that important decision,' Johnson said. 'I can't think of a fairer or more democratic process.'Garland has met with 47 senators, including 15 Republicans.Johnson is in a pivotal race in the fall against Democrat Russ Feingold.Harry Hartfield, a spokesman for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, said: 'Ron Johnson's meeting with Merrick Garland was just a ploy to distract from the fact that he refuses to do his job and consider Garland's nomination. Poll after poll shows Wisconsin voters want the Senate to act, but Johnson is far more interested in the wishes of Donald Trump, than those of voters.'View Comments
