Sounds like battle lines are already being drawn up.

The liberals are saying we should move swiftly to confirm a new nominee appointed by Obama. They argue that the Supreme Court should not have a vacancy till the next president takes office in January 2017.

Conservatives are saying we can just wait until a new president takes office, and let that new president appoint someone. And Mitch McConnell is saying the Senate will not consider any Obama nominee for confirmation.

Stay tuned. will be a bumpy ride.

Time for a secret meeting between Donald and Ted. Ted slow-walks his campaign, throws his delegates to Donald at the convention to avoid a GOPe brokered convention, Donald nominates Ted to the Supreme Court. Game, set, match.

Well, as much as I detest Onambla, it is his prerogative to nominate someone.

I will bet is will be some sodomite, or worse yet, a muslim.

Frankly...I think one should be more respectful and put the politics in a drawer for a bit and show a little respect for the man and his family.

Cruz will choose to grandstand...me and my colleagues in the Senate will make sure...blah, blah, blah....

I agree completely this matter suddenly becomes the most important issue of this year outside of the election itself. It is absolutely critical, beyond crucial that the US Congress, Republican control, to stonewall any effort by the Obama regime to name their own justice while he is in office.no matter what anyone says or does they must be absolutely resolute. This is not anything that’d McConnell or Ryan should throw to the Democrats under any circumstances whatsoever. And if they try there should be zero tolerance for anyone who would allow Obama to appoint a Supreme Court justice

Obviously it will be a black muslim sodomite like Obama. Except he is only partially black. A half-breed mutt.

Exactly why should Obama wait and not appoint someone? Other than “we don’t want him to”? The Left clearly does want him to... so what is the legal justification?

Please. Ol’ Donny probably suggested his sister to Obama. (wish I could add a /sarc tag, but it’s too probable to joke about.)

Scalia’s passing has changed the course of the campaign. Will it be enough to move the polls against Trump? I doubt it but it should. Suddenly, Ted Cruz’s lack of Senate friends and willingness to go along looks very reassuring regarding the Supreme Court. On the other hand, Trump cutting deals, changing rapidly and getting things ‘done’ looks much less appealing.

I already suggested this. And the GOPe, if it wants any part in this, needs to block all Obama nominees and agree to tell National Review trolls to STFU.

I think Trump is the only one who might be able to stop the Media DeathStar in their drive to have 0Muslim install a far-Left crazed Commie on the Supreme Court.

The Media DeathStar will brush aside Ted Cruz and his objections like Michael Jordan driving the lane on a sixth-grade, 5 foot 6 defender.

We're going to see a light show from the Media DeathStar like we've NEVER seen.

This is the Holy Fracking Grail for them.

Indeed. If he gets to go first on that issue tonight, he should extract a pledge from Cruz and Rubio that they will do all within their power do delay any appointment until a new President is elected.

One freeper has already said Trump could end the race tonight by pledging to appoint Ted Cruz to the position.
