Schumer Vows Not To Let Trump Place 'Right-Winger' On Supreme Court Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times , The top Democrat in the Senate said in a new interview that his party will not let President Donald Trump place a "right-winger" on the Supreme Court following the Democrats' flipping control of the upper chamber in the midterm elections.
"The bottom line is we're not going to allow a right-winger on the court," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who is expected to become majority leader early in 2027 as the new Congress is seated, told The Associated Press. "Extreme Democrats have a history of politicizing the Supreme Court, even entertaining plans to pack the Court with liberal justices," Lauren Bis, a White House spokeswoman, told The Epoch Times via email.
"President Trump will never let them pack the Supreme Court and ruin the independent judiciary."
