(Washington, DC) — Republican Senator Mark Kirk is breaking with his party’s leaders and will meet with President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee next week. Kirk, who’s facing a tough reelection fight, will meet the Merrick Garland next Tuesday, the first of three Republicans who said they would consider Garland’s nomination. The Republican leaders of the Senate say they don’t plan to hold hearings on Garland’s nomination, nor to hold a vote on his confirmation.
