Statement
Issues: Judicial Branch Legislative Branch
Former Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto released the following statement on reports President Obama is considering Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court:
"If nominated by the President, Governor Sandoval deserves a fair hearing and consideration, just like any nominee the President puts forth. Voting on nominees is part of the job of being a Senator, and if politicians in Washington have a problem with that they should find a new line of work, as Congressman Amodei has suggested. I urge my opponents, Sharron Angle and Congressman Heck, to join me in calling for Governor Sandoval to get a fair hearing should President Obama nominate him to be our next Supreme Court Justice."
