Sandoval Takes Name Off List for Supreme Court

Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval announced that he’s declining a possible nomination for the U.S. Supreme Court, the Reno Gazette Journal reports.

Said Sandoval: “Earlier today, I notified the White House that I do not wish to be considered at this time for possible nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States. I have also spoken to Senators Reid, Heller and McConnell and expressed the same desire to them. The notion of being considered for a seat on the highest court in the land is beyond humbling and I am incredibly grateful to have been mentioned.”
