English/Español: Rubio Statement on Filling the Current Supreme Court Vacancy
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released the following statement regarding President Trump’s intent to submit a nominee to the Senate to fill the current vacancy on the Supreme Court of the United States:
“In 2016, President Obama exercised his Constitutional duty and nominated Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, and the Senate exercised its Constitutional obligation and decided not to consent,” Rubio said. “Now, President Trump should exercise his duty to name a nominee. And the Senate should once again exercise its Constitutional obligation and decide whether or not to consent to his choice.”
“I will review the record of President Trump’s nominee, and I will provide my consent if I find they are qualified and will respect the law as written,” Rubio continued. “If I conclude they do not meet this standard, as I did in 2016, I will withhold consent. And unlike President Obama in 2016, President Trump is on the ballot and can be rewarded or held accountable for his choice in November.”

Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió el siguiente comunicado sobre la intención del presidente Trump de presentar una candidata al Senado para llenar la vacante actual en la Corte Suprema de Justicia de EE.UU.:
“En el 2016, el presidente Obama ejerció su deber constitucional nominando a Merrick Garland a la Corte Suprema y el Senado ejerció su obligación constitucional decidiendo que no daba su consentimiento”, Rubio dijo. “Ahora, el presidente Trump debería ejercer su derecho de nombrar a una candidata y el Senado debe volver a ejercer su obligación constitucional de decidir si acepta o no la elección hecha por el presidente”.
“Revisaré el historial de la candidata nominada por el presidente Trump y daré mi consentimiento si considero que ella está calificada y respetará la ley tal como está redactada”, Rubio continuo. “Si llego a la conclusión que esta persona no cumple con este estándar, como hice en el año 2016, no daré mi consentimiento. Y, a diferencia del presidente Obama en el 2016, el presidente Trump está en la boleta electoral. El puede ser recompensado o responsabilizado por su elección en noviembre”.
