News12 featured Haub Law Professor Bennett Gershman in "Experts say President Trump looks to name Ginsburg's Supreme Court successor with "unprecedented" speed"
Professor Bennett Gershman, of Pace University, says, "The country is already polarized and divided, and now with this nomination to the Supreme Court, it’s gonna get worse." President Donald Trump now has the chance to try to appoint a third member of his choosing, to the high court. "Republicans in the Senate run the show and they have the power to nominate and confirm somebody to the Supreme Court, and there's nothing that Democrats can do about it," Gershman says. The president meanwhile promises to move "without delay" on naming Ginsburg's successor, despite senate Democrats' wanting to wait, to delay a confirmation until after the election. Gershman says, "We're gonna have to wait and see how this thing plays out, but it's gonna be ugly."
