Biden: ‘No desire to sit on the Supreme Court’
Vice President Biden says he has no interest in being Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s replacement.
“I have no — look at me, now — I have no desire to sit on the Supreme Court. None,” he said Thursday in an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who had asked him about a rumor that he would be President Obama’s pick.

Biden also had strong words for Senate Republicans vowing to block any potential nominee that Obama puts forth.
“They’re intimidated by the dominant element of the Republican Party … the far right,” he said.
“I don’t believe in their heart they think this makes sense,” Biden added of GOP senators.
“It is a political problem of a different order,” he continued. “I don’t think it’s responsible at all” to stand in the way of the process.
Scalia died this weekend in Texas at age 79.
