Can't wait to see republicans try to obstruct this and once more show their hypocrisy. Republicans are all about the constitution and limited government until it goes against what they want.

Yea it's just too good.

Scalia himself was a strict constructionist and likely would have disapproved of the Senate impeding the President's appointment of a Supreme Court Justice for political reasons.

Appointments clause:

Originally Posted by US Constitution

[The President] shall nominate, and, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

It would take a real shitbag, like a Clarence Thomas type, to interpret Advice and Consent of the Senate as "We get to completely ignore your nominations, whether they are qualified or not, so that we can stall for the next President".

Obstruction sounds good to me, awesome when gov cant function and does nothing, that's a win win for any freedom loving citizen.

Sounds good to me as well.

Obama already appointed two hacks Kagan and Sotomayor.

Both of whom are under qualified and an embarrassment to the Supreme Justice bench who rely on clerks to do their thinking for them.

Why should Obama get to appoint another under qualified weirdo Justice to the bench? The people deserve better, conservative or liberal, it matters not. The fact is, the Obama appointments tread on the ridiculous.

Obstruction is the natural course of action based on his two previous appointments. Again, the people deserve better. Liberal or conservative, they deserve better.

there's no way either of them are worse than Thomas the Silent Scalia Puppet

Not just that but he is a lame duck with an almost negative approval rating. The guy should sit down and shut his trap for any hope of making some lasting legacy for himself. I don't care if they then build some library/monument/100ft messianic statue reaching for the stars for him - if he just shuts up! He makes Carter look almost like a total success case.

Would only send them lower. Watch, they obstruct this, approval rating will shoot up. They do what has got them into that mess by letting it fly by once again, it'll go lower. You're really that out of touch with why their approval rating is low, aren't you. Their own constituents have been screaming bloody murder at them for not showing backbone. Don't run for office.
