We should celebrate and honor this democrat tradition and oppose any nominee by Obama.
The vital Scalia, who championed the Bill of Rights and national-border definition, must have been a constant irritant to the Obama administration and upper mgmt.
Obama does not have a track record of nominating people due to their qualifications, but instead he nominates based on their political ideology, gender, race, or sexual preferences.
If he were to actually nominate a qualified jurist, then yes they should receive a fair look from the senate and confirmation if they meet the standard.
His obsessive hatred of liberty and the Second Amendment, and as this is his last chance to stack the court to further erode the constitution, means he will pick someone that is a political activist based on their politics and hatred of American freedom.
If that is the case, then the nominee should not be confirmed, period, no matter who is the next occupant of the white house.
A justice should be nominated because of their qualifications, not ideology, but since franklin Roosevelt, the dem side has always used the court to put in law that couldn't be passed by congress because there was no popular support. Abortion an homosexual "marriage" are just 2 examples.
All that has stood in the way of a socialist takeover of this country for many years has been the supreme court, now the opportunity exists to destroy that last defense.
Obama will nominate a political hack. The senate should give them a fair hearing, and if shown to be an unqualified political hack, they should be denied.
The dems aren't great about doing things for the benefit of the country, so I highly doubt we can expect anything more from obama with this last chance to hurt the country for many more years to come and deepen the divisions he's created between classes and race in his obsessive attempts to destroy this country from within just as Kruscheve said they would do.

That is correct.
Obama's two other nominees (and appointments) are blatantly partisan and sacrifice judicial objectivity for advancement of liberal ideology.
Perhaps if Obama had fufilled his Constitutional obligation to appoint objective justices, there would not be a problem. The Senate can simply exercise its constitutional right to evaluate and approve or disapprove of any nomination. Keep in mind, two of Reagan's nominees were defeated before the appointment of Kennedy.
Obama is to blame for a proposed fight/delay in the Senate. After all, it was Obama who said that elections have consequences.

.
I suspect he'll try to influence the next election by nominating someone the GOP will be obliged to block but the Democrats will use to rile up their base. Watch MSNBC for a hint of things to come, just this morning the talking heads were foaming at the mouth bashing Republicans.

I believe there were two...and it was for the same seat.
