would be an irreversible step toward the brink and a betrayal of a single quality that america was borden and -- born and built on -- the people decide. senators must not act on this nomination until the american people finish the process they have already begun of selecting their president and their congress. as i said before, if the people choose donald trump, then the senate should give his nominee a hearing and a vote. if the people do not choose trump and choose me, president trump's nomination should be withdrawn, i should nominate, chosen by a president who has just been elected by the people, to get a fair hearing, which would not even occur until only -- until early february, a confirmation vote. provides oneion chance, one, for the americans to have their voices heard on who serves a lifetime appointment on the supreme court, who makes those decisions about their health care, their civil rights, and much else. that chance is now. that moment is now. and the voters in my view are not going to stand for this abuse of power and for us to call ourselves a democracy, their voices mus
