Obama has never been concerned over failure. He's more interested in playing the victim..

Leave it to Republicans/Conservatives to try to spin a man doing the job he was elected to do as a bad thing.


SMH

Problem with that is that you think he is doing because it's his job... That idea has never occurred to him the last seven years...

How rude of him to die before the election.

Or even worse, didnt Obama claim Hillary would be a great Supreme Court justice?

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is ruling out replacing Scalia until a new president is chosen:

Mitch McConnell rules out replacing Antonin Scalia until new president is elected

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Saturday that the Senate should wait until a new president is elected to confirm a replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia, whose sudden death Saturday shook Washington and threatened to reshape the 2016 presidential race.

Democrats said that with 11 months left in Mr. Obama’s tenure, the Senate has enough time — and indeed an obligation — to confirm a replacement.

Mr. McConnell, though, said voters must be given a say in the matter, and that means picking a president who will nominate the replacement. “The American people‎ should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president,” the Kentucky Republican said in a statement.

I didn't think they had the balls. This is good news.

No balls involved. McConnell knows perfectly well that Obama can nominate someone today, tomorrow, whenever. And whoever he chooses, McConnell has no say in that either.

Thomas rarely writes his own opinions and latches onto what Scalia does. Thomas' most popular opinions sound like his clerks cut and pasted.
