Replacing
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy is newly at the top of the Senate's summer agenda
following Justice Kennedy’s retirement announcement. Three Senate Democrats who
voted for Justice Neil Gorsuch—Sens. Joe Manchin III (D-WV), Heidi Heitkamp
(D-ND) and Joe Donnelly (D-IN)—along with Republican Sens. Susan Collins
(R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Judiciary Chairman Charles E. Grassley met with President Trump to discuss the Supreme Court position vacated by
Justice Kennedy, who is widely viewed as the Court’s “swing vote.”
