The big difference, of course, is that when dems block a nomination they are hailed as valiant representatives of process. But when the republicans go down this road they are throwing themselves into the media wolves' den.

I support them and believe they should stall any Obama nomination all year. However, I don't think the republican leadership has the courage to stand and follow through.

What I am afraid (in fact expect) is that the media will be able to throw so much flak at the republicans that it could turn public sentiment into support for Hilary Clinton.

If that were to happen, Obama would eventually get his nominee confirmed and as soon as Hillary is in office Ginsburg and Kennedy could retire and deliver a 6-3 split on the board that would last for decades. The three conservatives would be Thomas and Alito ... with Roberts who has proved he doesn't respect law and can't be trusted

Makes it even more important that a Republican win this year.

I trust any of ‘em to make better appointments than Shrillary or Sanders.

That’s surely a possibility.

I believe 0bama’s nominee should be blocked, we have to take a stand at some point and this may be the last chance to save our Republic.

Hillary may not win the Dem nomination or there’s still a possibility of her being indicted even if it’s a long shot.

They’re so afraid of the being called the party of ‘no’ with few exceptions like Cruz who wear the label proudly. We’ll be hearing it again quite soon i’m sure and hopefully the opportunity will be taken to show the hypocrisy of the label.
