“I will tell you very simply: We won the election. Elections have consequences. We have the Senate, we have the White House, and we have a phenomenal nominee respected by all — top, top academic. Good in every way, good In every way. In fact, some of her biggest endorsers are very liberal people from Notre Dame and other places. So I think she’s going to be fantastic. We have plenty of time, even if we did it after the election itself. I have a lot of time after the election, as you know. So I think that she will be outstanding. She’s going to be as good as anybody that has served on that court.” “We should wait and see what the outcome of this election is, because that’s the only way the American people get to express their view, is by who they elect as president and who they elect as vice president. Now, what’s at stake here is, the president’s made it clear he wants to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. He’s been running on that. He ran on that. And he’s been governing on that. He’s in the Supreme Court right now trying to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, which will strip 20 million people from having insurance, health insurance now, if it goes into court. And the justice — and I have nothing, I’m not opposed to the justice, she seems like a very fine person — but she’s written before she went on the bench, which is her right, that she thinks that the Affordable Care Act is not constitutional.
