The election is ‘Make Or Break’ for the Constitution.
Hillary Clinton supported President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court during a speech in Wisconsin Monday, but warned the progressive agenda could be decimated if Donald Trump got to nominate justices.
“This election is about more than just one seat on the court,” Clinton said at the University of Wisconsin. “The next president could end up nominating multiple justices. That means the president elected this fall could determine the future of the court for decades to come.”
The former secretary of state called on Senator Chuck Grassley “to step up and do his job” by holding a hearing for Obama nominee Merrick Garland. She praised Garland as a moderate.
“For a long time now the ideological bend of the court has led the country in the wrong direction,” Clinton said. “If we’re serious about progressive causes we need to focus on who is sitting on the court.”
