Sandoval Removes Himself From Consideration for Supreme Court
Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval says he has told the White House that he’s not interested in being considered for the Supreme Court right now.
Sandoval’s office issued a statement Thursday following news that the White House was considering him as a potential replacement for the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
The Republican governor didn’t offer a reason for his decision, though he said that he also expressed his position to Senators Harry Reid, Dean Heller and Mitch McConnell.

The 52-year-old Sandoval, a second-term governor, is a former federal judge.
