The GOP needs to grow a spine.

Good article. I’ll never vote Republican again if they cave on this.

preserve the Supreme Court's integrity as a bulwark against the vagaries of democracy and executive abuse.

Huh? Whaaaaat? Huh, what? The Supreme Court has been trafficking in the vagaries of democracy.

Republicans need to ask themselves a couple of questions before they battle over Barack Obama's eventual nominee to replace Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court.

Battle? What the heck do they mean battle?

What possible penalty is there for completely stalling the procedure until 0bama is out of office? A media tongue-lashing? 0bama calling them names? Come on, guys, this is politics, if he wants a Supreme Court justice as part of his legacy, what's he offering in return? Nothing?

More to the point, will refusal to yield cost the Republicans any Senate or House seats? No? Then folks, face it - 0bama's got nothing.

It would be a different world if we could find the proper means to motivate the congress to grow a spine and assert its power.

Won’t be a real fight, the Republicans will hold out for the best deal ( probably a couple of year tax cut for the wealthy) then will give Obama what he wants.

Regarding the future of this nation, if this is not worth fighting over, nothing is.
