In my case, I voted for Romney.

Obama has the right to pick a nominee, but the Senate is not obligated to confirm said nominee.

Didn’t George W. Bush pick Miguel Estrada, and the RATS dragged it on for two years, until Estrada withdrew him name?

The GOP can delay, hold hearings, delay some more, and run out the clock until after January 20, 2017. That’s if they have the guts, and that is a big “if.”

That wasn't the Supreme Court. There have been dozens of judicial nominees of Democrat presidents that were blocked for months or years by Republicans, and dozens of judicial nominees of Republican presidents blocked for months or years by Democrats. That's pretty much the way things go these days.
