An administration official told Reuters Obama will not push through a nominee this week. The president said that he plans to nominate a successor “in due time.” Obama spoke about Scalia’s death on Saturday, remembering him as a child of immigrants who influenced a generation of lawyers. The president added that the justice will be remembered for his wit and “colorful opinions.”
