“I just note, listening to the Republican leader, it is a little difficult to accuse us of delaying a nomination that has not yet been made. This is a new one. The way it works is the President actually has to nominate somebody before we can consider the nomination. So before we rush out here and start accusing our side of delaying a nomination that has not yet been made, they might want to direct their attention to the White House. They are the ones who have an obligation to make the nomination.”
