(7 Apr 2017) President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, headed for confirmation on Friday after Republicans tore up the Senate's voting rules to allow him to ascend to the high court over furious Democratic objections.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called the decision to push the nominee through the most 'consequential' decision of his career. In Washington, Republican leaders applauded Trump's actions, despite the president launching the strike without congressional authorization. Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell called Trump's decision "entirely correct.""I think the president had the authority to do what he did, and I'm glad he did it," McConnell said.You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
