Republican Sweep Likely to Tilt Supreme Court Balance
-----------------------------------------------------

The congressional sweep makes it likely that Donald Trump will appoint a
conservative to the Supreme Court post left vacant since Antonin Scalia
died in February. Republicans have refused to consider Obama's pick for
the high court, Merrick Garland, and will likely ignore his nomination
until Trump names his own nominee during the next Congress.
