U. S. Sen. Joni Ernst said Friday she would support holding Senate hearings to confirm a nomination President Donald Trump might make to the U. S. Supreme Court this year, even if he loses the presidency in November.
„(If) it is a lame-duck session, I would support going ahead with any hearings that we might have,“ Ernst, a Republican, said during a taping of the Iowa Press show on Iowa PBS. „And if it comes to an appointment prior to the end of the year, I would be supportive of that.“
The comments came after Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg disclosed that she is once again battling cancer, and she was hospitalized this week with a possible infection.
