The search for a new Supreme Court justice continues as more and more possible nominees continue to show reluctance towards the prestigious post.

Thanks, but no thanks. 

That's the basic gist of the statement Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval issued yesterday. The Republican said he told the White House that he was incredibly grateful to have been considered a nominee to the Supreme court but that he does NOT want to be considered at this time. 

California's Attorney General Kamala Harris, also now running for Senate, has also made it clear she's not looking to take on this prestigious post. For more, Senior reporter at Politico, Josh Gerstein and Caroline Frederickson President of the American Constitution Society joined the show to discuss.
