WASHINGTON (AP) — The battle for the Supreme Court is on the Saturday airwaves.

In his weekly radio and internet address today, President Barack Obama calls again for Senate Republicans to consider his nominee, Merrick Garland.

In the Republican response, North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis warns Democrats not to “seek to further divide our nation” by using the Supreme Court fight “to score cheap political points.”
