Everyone thinks they can make this really intricate, but that’s not going to happen.

What will happen is, Obama will make and appointment and the Senate will either confirm or not.

That’s it. NO way in hell does Obama let this crisis go to waste.

It is fact, Congress “can” (if they choose) change the number of justices. That would end the appointment.

Unfortunately, this is already a win/win for 0bama. If the SC stays at 4 and 4 (with no new nominee this year) all the cases will fall back to the lower "blue" courts. At least according to this article:
