The Republicans are of course insanely obstructionist. Perhaps that will play well with their core, but I can't imagine that this kind of active destruction of the political process wins them points generally.

And Obama has not obstructed the republicans progress with all his vetos? Did you forget Obama is lame duck and THE PEOPLE voted in the republicans and THE PEOPLE gave the power to them in both the senate and the house.

Actually, they've already stated intent to fight any nomination from Obama. Period, end-of-statement, not even 'unless he selects someone very moderate'.

If I was Obama I'd just be a dick and try to purposely nominate someone I thought they'd be very likely to nominate themselves.

If Obama was smart he would not nominate anyone, put his cards on Hilary winning and then her electing him as a SC justice, but we know he isn't a forward thinker.

He loses a chance to be a SC Justice. The Senate will not confirm anyone, and he cannot by pass them even with another illegal executive order😂

Yeah, but if he nominates someone and the Senate refuses to do its job it will reflect very badly on Republicans, which will help Democrats, and therefore be in the interest of Obama.

How will it reflect bad on the republicans who have the majority based on the popular vote, voting them in?

The people elected them and transferred the power of the senate and house from the dems to republicans.

So their voter base would actually be happy, and the republicans could finally stand on that they did something their electorate wants.

Obama was elected to his office by popular vote twice by much larger margins than any of the Republicans currently in the legislature. Supreme Court appointments are his purview. Blocking them out of partisan spite will energize Democrats and turn off Independents, costing the Republicans the election.

ie they'll look like diaper-babies throwing a tantrum. They're really in a bad position atm with this happening so close to an election

Obama getting elected the second time, sure, but then when the house and senate change party majority and why did it happen?

Let me guess your excuse: low voter democratic turn over😂

Also explain the large conservative movement, its called Obama.

Your opinion about anyone who disagrees with Obama is a tantrum. Actually, his illegal executive orders that were blocked by the SC and lower courts would be considered a diaper baby tantrum by Obama.😂

His death is now interesting..now they are doing No Autopsy for him..

Even though it is State Law in Texas..

NO AUTOSPY...WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON?

i'm blaming hillary. whether it's her fault or not.
i only hope that he didn't see her naked before he died. it would be a shame

John F. Kennedy was killed in Texas in a very public way. Allegedly, Scalia died in his sleep, all alone. Was Dick Cheney on the premises? Scalia came to Texas to go hunting. Perhaps Chaney and his crew were hunting Scalia. There’s no way for Scalia to have known that he was the prey, not the animals on the big ranch he was visiting.

its hillary dude. she vince foster'd him like a pro. i can hear her cackling as she steps out of the shadows of his home.
wearing nothing but an open robe and sipping a glass of wine. she steps out of the shadows and smothers him with her spider vein laced cankles. scalia tries to resist but is overwhelmed. hillary cackles with glee and smothers scalia further with her leathery nether parts. the bitter, sea-worldish aroma is actually quite toxic. scalia goes into his death throes, shuddering, and spitting bile around the room.......then his body suddenly stills as the darkness of death overtakes him.

How do you get around a manadtory autospy by state law though.
