Supreme Court Holds First Session Since Scalia Death

The Supreme Court held its first oral arguments today since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

FOX’s Jon Decker reports from the White House:

The eight remaining Justices returned to the bench this morning for the first time since Justice Antonin Scalia’s death. Scalia’s chair and the bench in front of it are draped in black.

The Court – at least for now – is split 4-4 – along ideological lines.

The President says he will name a nominee to replace Scalia in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, the Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee will be joined by Senate Majority Mitch McConnell for a meeting tomorrow. It’s a strategy session to determine whether or not to give the President’s nominee a confirmation hearing.
