“There is certainly long historical precedent for a Supreme Court with fewer justices. I would note, just recently, that Justice Breyer observed that the vacancy is not impacting the ability of the court to do its job. That’s a debate that we are going to have.” --- Senator Ted Cruz
"I promise you that we will be united against any Supreme Court nominee that Hillary Clinton, if she were president, would put up.” --- Senator John McCain
