WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said on the floor Wednesday that the Senate will likely receive President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee “in a matter of a week or so.”

The Senate has been locked in a partisan standoff over filling the vacancy on the high court following Justice Antonin Scalia’s death on Feb. 13. Obama has said he will appoint a nominee, but Republicans have vowed not to give that nominee a hearing or a vote, arguing the next president should fill the vacancy. Reid and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., as well as the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee, met with the president Tuesday to discuss the vacancy.

“We have a constitutional duty to do our jobs, and that duty is to give advice and consent to the president when he sends a nomination up here, which he will have in a matter of a week or so,” Reid said.
