WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Antonin Scalia's unexpected death in February and the Senate's refusal to confirm a successor has left the Supreme Court in a bind on several closely divided cases.
Even as some justices have said the short-handed court will continue to get its work done, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has noted, "Eight is not a good number."
AYRSHIRE, Scotland (AP) — Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, visiting Scotland the day after the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, hailed the move, saying voters "took back their country."
Trump, whose own campaign shares some of the same populist national themes that fueled the vote to leave the EU, said Friday that "all over the world, people are angry."
