President Trump said Tuesday he will announce his selection to fill the Supreme Court vacancy “sometime next week.”

"I'll be making my decision this week, we'll be announcing next week," he told reporters in the Oval Office. "We have outstanding candidates, and we will pick a truly great Supreme Court justice."

Trump’s nomination to fill the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat is expected to trigger a high-stakes battle in the Senate.

The announcement comes hours before the president plans to sit down with Senate leaders at the White House to discuss his nominee to the high court.

1. I cannot begin to describe how sick this makes me. nt

2. This seat was stolen

Democrats should try to return it to its rightful owner

and report the theft to the American People

[BlueCaliDem]

3. This is a STOLEN SEAT, and Democrats *must* unify and filibuster it - just like No-Lips

and his band of Republican thieves have done.

5. If that "outstanding candidate" isn't Merrick Garland, no fucking way.

[ffr]

6. Oh, HELL NO!

The people have spoken and they wanted Hillary to make that choice, you shitgobbin!

7. I thought there was a Federal hiring freeze.

Isn't that what he said?

8. He should nominate Sarah Palin

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

12. She''s too liberal. I'd guess Rick Santorum.

Super religious, super right-wing.

Yet, somehow, both slimy and slick.

[IronLionZion]

14. Yup, and she's too female

for Trump

9. Let me guess. It's Scalia's maggot infested brain hooked up to a heritage foundation main frame. nt

[Glimmer of Hope]

10. I am afraid. This is damage that you cannot undo.

[Old Vet]

11. The democratics should never forget the slap in the face they gave Mr Garland.......

The dems should use every damn trick in the book to block any nomination to the supreme court from this maniac Trump.

[not fooled]

15. Oh, I'm sure constitutional scholar dump has been giving this a lot of thought

Careful, Donnie, as you enact the Heriturd agenda--

The Koch's hand up your ass is showing.

[harun]

16. Obama's pick

[Dave Starsky]

17. There is a FEDERAL HIRING FREEZE in place.

No way that a new Supreme Court Justice is approved or placed.

[thinkingagain]

18. He has no right

The Republicans block Obama's pick using " he can not appoint a Supreme court Justice in his last year in office
Democrats need to block Trumps picks as " InTrumps first year in office he is in TRAINING so he has no right to pick a new Supreme court Justice."
