Following the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on Saturday, Senate Republicans have announced that they will try to postpone replacing him on the high court until after the 2016 election. President Barack Obama and others have criticized this highly political move. Today, Hillary Clinton released the following statement which offers her condolences to the friends and family of Justice Scalia, but also criticizes Republicans for attempting to block President Obama’s Constitutional duty to appoint a replacement:
My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Justice Scalia as they mourn his sudden passing. I did not hold Justice Scalia’s views, but he was a dedicated public servant who brought energy and passion to the bench.
The Republicans in the Senate and on the campaign trail who are calling for Justice Scalia’s seat to remain vacant dishonor our Constitution. The Senate has a constitutional responsibility here that it cannot abdicate for partisan political reasons.
On Saturday, Hillary Clinton made a number of stops in Las Vegas where she met with voters and local business owners.

Saturday evening, Clinton and Democratic rival Bernie Sanders spoke at the Colorado Democratic Party’s annual dinner in Denver. Clinton spoke about her presidential platform, but took time to criticize Senate Republicans for vowing to block any Supreme Court nominee presented by President Barack Obama. Following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia on Saturday, Republicans have vowed to block any nominees until the next president takes office. The longest Supreme Court nomination process lasted 100 days and there are 340 days until January 21, 2017. Clinton said that such action would violate the Constitutional duty of the Senate. Clinton said, “I know that our thoughts and prayers are with the Scalia family tonight and I am also thinking and praying for the future of our country. It is outrageous that Republicans in the Senate and on the campaign trail have already pledged to block any replacement that President Obama nominates.” A video of her speech is below.
