as posted by the channelPresident Trump was only able to nominate Judge Neil Gorsuch to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia because the Republicanled Senate refused to consider Obama’s nominee for the post last year. Obama nominated Judge Merrick Garland on March 16, but Republican senators refused to hold confirmation hearings for months. Many are now calling Gorsuch’s nomination a "stolen seat."
