The battle over replacing Justice Antonin Scalia was already underway Saturday afternoon, an unseemly few hours after news of his death shook Washington, with Democrats insisting President Obama should be able to name a quick replacement.
With the court now divided between four Republican-appointed justices and four Democratic picks, Mr. Obama would have a chance to tilt the bench decidedly to the left, and liberal lawmakers said he should have that chance.

But...but...but...the Republicans have to give in to what the Democrats want - otherwise, the Democrats might call them names.
Liberals are overjoyed because they see this as a chance to advance tyranny over the rights of man. Scalia was a stout defender of those rights.
Bitch McConnell and Cornhole will roll over and do anything King 0dingus tells them to, or else the pictures of the little boys will be made public.
Erikkk AssHolder will be a Supreme "Just-us" By October-December.
In the meantime, either another Justice will die, or retire as well. Ginsboig will take one for the team, since she suffers from pancreatic cancer, forcing a "we GOTTA do something NOW!!!" rush, fast track appointment process. He'll flood the Senate with the most hardcore, gun grabbing radicals you have ever seen, and the first two will be rejected--a "victory" for pieces of $h!t like mcconnell to trumpet for his moron voters and the fox news crew.
This is if he just doesn't pull the pen and phone( set to vibrate) from his ass and make a recess appointment.
It will start tonight at the debate: "Mr. ____. Upon the sad news this evening regarding the passing of Antonin Scalia, what words would you like to say in his honor, and will you pledge, here tonight in the interest of democratic bipartisanship, that you will not block president 0bama from appointing Supreme Court judges in his remaining time in office..."
By tomorrow, you will see the celebutards on twitter (the same ones celebrating Scalia's death today) calling for #quickjustice! or #JusticeNow or whatever the democrat machine decided on telling their minions to parrot. Constitutional experts, the lot of 'em...
*** The man’s body hasn’t even been prepared for his funeral and the RATs are already knawing for power. ***
Some Republicans are, too. No sense of decency on both sides.
What he said was "Should not allow".... A real big difference...
NEVER trust McConnell....or McCain for that matter..
I’m hoping for a miracle here, ok?

Obama has yet to release a statement as of my posting.

The Republicans own the Senate.
The democrats can’t get their way unless it is given to them.
The 2016 election favors a democrat takeover of the senate in 2017. Any new republican president would have trouble confirming a replacement.
Right now, the democrats have to horse trade to get less than what they would want, even if Obama did appoint someone.
If, however, they win both the presidency and the Senate, they can put in place a radical liberal who could be there for an entire generation.
It’s actually better for even them to wait for the results of the election.
Ain’t gonna happen!
I was just going to post that - Obama will take this opportunity to stick his middle finger up at America yet again and appoint a muslim or perhaps even some “transgender” (though I still say there’s no such thing).
The ‘rats can’t even wait until he assumes room temperature.
Recall the disgusting spectacle of their “life celebration” when dem Senator Paul Wellstone died in a plane crash.
Mitchy always caves to Obie like the sun sets in he West. He’s as useless as teats on a bull...
Would he actually try and appoint an illegal? I wouldn’t put it past him.
Here is one thing to remember.These people have gigantic egos. The Court hangs in the balance. It will effect decisions for decades.
I am sure some of these quislings are thinking about their legacy.
Exactly the turd-le is a ‘Rat traitor..
Yep, and it is critical we all eventually rally around whoever the nominee is, because this is too important to leave to the Rats in Congress or, heaven forbid, a President Hillary or Bernie.
I think it has to be a black pick so he can scream racism..along with the BLM group
