        Yeah I fully expect things to go full on bananas soon. This is more of a challenge to the 2nd Amendment than anything an acting president could do.

          I don't know if it is possible for the republicans to put off this appointment until after the election but if they can they better do it. We already have 4 extreme liberal justices who vote lockstep and one more appointed by Obama is going to totally change the direction of this country.

          Sad day. RIP Scalia a great constitutional judge.

            A true originalist... as long as being one suited his purpose.

            Looks like an 8-person SCOTUS until sometime next year...

              I would not be surprised if we find out that he was

              poisoned with radiotive isotope like the russians used...

              but seriously, this is sad for his family, and dangerous for

              our country, especially our Consitution.

              and I do mean, dangerous.

                  Yikes this could be bad. Sometimes I think you've gotta question the wisdom of appointing judges for life

                  Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                    Sleep easy... O'Connell and now Grassley haves much as said they will not move on any nomination until after the election. Nomination(s) will be made. Repub leadership will table them.

                    Here's a concept... how about a Centrist? 4 Libs... 4 Cons... and a tie-breaker? Or do you really want to roll the dice on who will be the next President and who will control the Senate a year from now?

                          The Supreme Court already has a centrist justice in Kennedy. I would like to see a constitutional justice replace someone like Scalia. I don't think Obama has the DNA to nominate anyone close to a centrist anyway. I would take my chances winning in November as I don't think the democrats could be putting up a weaker candidate than Hillary Clinton.

                              You say "vote lockstep" like its a bad thing...

                              oh, liberal judges. I see.

                              Voting lockstep would be fine if they were conservative then

                                    With O'Connell and Grassley staking out their positions? Obama will go very centrist and let the GOP nominees and Congress go berserk over a reasonable candidate and drag their feet. That will draw the distinction between the right and the independent middle even more starkly.

                                    Just remember... you had a chance when I offered the centrist.

                                    If McConnell holds his ground and does what he says he will do he will redeem himself a little bit.

                                    ... and the Dems hold the White House and take back the Senate (both more than possible)...

                                    Obama could be the next SCOTUS nominee...

                                    Sleep well.... 🙂

                                      If the dems take the White House and Senate and we have a continuation of the last 8 years of Obama we will probably have reached the point of no return anyway and I don't think the Supreme Court is going to matter all that much (even with Obama).

                                        the constitution?

                                        That's quaint.

                                          A bit, but the socialist intel services in russian DID do it. And, one avowed socialist

                                          is running for pres. And higgardly is surely every bit as corrupt as the kgb.

                                          Hence, the sarcastic connection. Sorry, it was just right there.
