It will happen exactly as Trump said.
Obama WILL NOMINATE a new leftist hack.
Take it to the bank.
(much more leftist than Romney could ever have)
Obama will say he has nominated a centrist.
The media will of course side with Obama.
Career politicians in senate will lose nerve and say AYE to the new SCOTUS nominee.
The republicans will use the same excuse as before...the president has a right to nominate whom he wants.
We can not stop the government from functioning.
blah blah blah...
And then Obama will get all his liberal agenda passed
through SCOTUS on 5:4 or 6:3 votes.
Pray no other justice dies or resigns in 2016.
There is a good chance next president gets to nominate 2 justices.
Pitchforks and torches -- symbolic, of course -- might make the Senate sit up and take notice, and do the right thing for a change. If they proceed with moving forward on anything Obama does, their DC careers will be history and I hope they understand that.
