Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer agrees with Senate leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky that no vote should be taken on a Supreme Court nominee until a new president takes office.
Fischer, a Republican, says the person chosen to fill the position left by the death of Justice Scalia will have a huge impact on the direction of the court. . .

Nebraska’s other Senator, Ben Sasse says the Senate must take seriously its duty to confirm the next justice to the Supreme Court.
Sasse says President Obama has created a constitutional crisis and shouldn’t have the right to replace Justice Scalia. . .
