No, we are not going to have a 9th Supreme Court member for at least a year

It'll be a month or two max. You can't leave a spot like that vacant for a year, even with an interim.

They absolutely will. No one will get confirmed until the next President, too much riding on this one. Their constituents will murder their Senators if they vote up an Obama nominee, no matter who he nominates.

They won't. They have 30 days to vote on his first nomination, then look over two lists if that fails. If they say no those those, he gets to pick.

when has there been a supreme who didnt guide his decisions based on the constitution

raring to post

longest its ever taken to confirm a Supreme nominee is 125 days. Obummer has 361 days left in office.

im sure they will try to stonewall him in the senate (if just to drum up their lovely conservative base), but it wont work

The spokesman for the head of Senate Judiciary already said there's a "less than zero percent chance" that Obama nominates his replacement.

They can do this but it'll just turn the Supreme Court into a huge issue for the election and drive dem turnout. Honestly that's probably a better scenario than Obama making a recess appointment to the SCOTUS but I also sort of hope Trollbama does that just for the lulz.
