Holding up a SC Nominee is exactly the type of thing that can backfire when you have two sitting Senators running for Pres from your party.

Also yea this, if the two biggest candidates that weren't Trump weren't senators MAYBE they could try it, but there's no way this can go down with Rubio and Cruz having to deal with barrages of 'so, hey, you guys are super clearly using a SCOTUS appointment as an election tool...sup with that?'

Have all the opinions for this term been voted on yet? How will Scalia's death effect this term if we don't get a replacement until after the election?

Edit: I'm looking forward to freep's reaction.

Remember when Clinton made an offhand joke recently when asked something like that and said 'yea Obama would make a good guy for the court' in a clearly just 'haha get it because we're political allies and him being president pissed off people so imagine him being on the court for life' tones? Remember how the right took that as unironic truth and we had Rubio going around saying "HILLARY CLINTON THINKS OBAMA BELONGS ON THE SUPREME COURT"?

Now that could happen and god is good.

The attack lines pretty much write themselves:
"Trump and Cruz are running for President, but they won't even show up in for their current job as Senators. The American people are smart. They aren't going to hand a promotion to people who won't even clock in for their current job."

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Solid 5-4, with Kennedy as a swing-y sixth. This is hugely great news.
