In separate Sunday morning interviews of Republican presidential candidates and Senators Ted Cruz (Tex.) and Marco Rubio (Fl.), ABC’s This Week host George Stephanopoulos and NBC’s Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd urged them to consider whomever President Obama nominates to replace the late conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia since “the people elected President Obama” and he doesn’t serve for “only three years.”
Beginning with Stephanopoulos versus Cruz, the Clinton Foundation donor remarked to Cruz that then-President Ronald Reagan nominated Anthony Kennedy to the bench in February 1988 with 13 months left in his second term and argued that this means that it should be the President’s “right to nominate a justice and the Senate's responsibility to give that nominee an up or down vote.”
