Let's make this simple enough that even a republican can understand it...

[Gidney N Cloyd]

Every time America elects a president we have made our voices heard on who will nominate our justices for the next 4 years.

All 4 years.

2. There is a small but certain fraction

of Republicans who can count up to '4.' A rarer few all the up to '8.'

Have no idea what to do with the rest of 'em.

Excellent point. Two national elections, two outcomes, both indicating voters choose Obama to be the guy who makes these calls.

4. Once again Repuglican hypocrisy.

Isn’t it ironic that many so-called ‘constitutional conservatives' suddenly become 'cafeteria constitutionalists' when it fits their current political agenda?

In this case, it is even more ironic that the replacement for Scalia, the great proponent of "original meaning", would be made the object of Repuglican political opposition to Pres. Obama -- when the meaning and plan of the Constitution is quite clear -- the Senate should fulfill its constitutional duty when the President makes his Court nomination.
