(CNSNews.com) — Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said Tuesday that the U.S. Supreme Court should warn the nation of the "great dangers" of leaving the seat vacated by the recent death of Justice Antonin Scalia open until after the 2016 presidential election.
"Maybe it's time for the United States Supreme Court to tell the Congress and the American people about the great dangers and damage that would be done by a continuing vacancy over, in effect, two terms, or two years of the court," Blumenthal told CNSNews.com.
BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — ESPN fired Curt Schilling, a baseball analyst and former Boston Red Sox star pitcher, following his comments on Facebook about legislation to assure access to bathrooms and other facilities for transgender people.
In a statement Wednesday, ESPN said "Curt Schilling has been advised that his conduct was unacceptable." The Walt Disney-owned cable-television network added that "ESPN is an inclusive company."
