President-elect Donald Trump is given the task to chose a new supreme court justice, and this has caused an uproar for Democrats. Knowing Trump he will probably chose someone who is more conservative for the position, making the Supreme Court a conservative majority. According to Politco, Joe Biden has told Democrats to accept whoever Trump chooses for the position. He said "The Constitution says that the President shall nominate, not maybe he could, maybe he can't, He shall nominate. Implicit in the Constitution is that the Senate will act on its Constitutional responsibility and give its advice and consent. No one is required for the nominee, but they, in my view, are required to give the nominee a hearing and a vote." (Politico). Biden reminds us that it is Trumps' Constitutional duty to nominate someone for this position and the public has to be ok with it, Because every nominee deserves a fair hearing.
