(CNSNews.com) – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that he would not be holding a Senate vote on President Barack Obama's nomination to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.
Irish Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht Heather Humphreys won applause at Sunday morning's St. Patrick's Day breakfast when she said the Irish in Massachusetts have thrived in politics, business and culture, and called Boston "the Irish capital of America."
Noting she'd been told to expect a lot of ribbing, Humphreys picked up instead on the mostly friendly, bipartisan vibe in the South Boston breakfast hall – once a crucible where no politician left unscathed – calling the occasion a "love-in."
