The difference is simple. If Obama wins, we will get the most liberal activist judges he can find. If Romney wins we at least have a chance to influence who is appointed, like we did with President Bush and Miers. And it is not just about the Supreme Court, it is also about all federal judges.
We have zero chance to influence who Obama picks. And if the senate doesn’t want to confirm, he may just try to make recess appointments.
This is crucial, all legislation the left doesn’t like ends up in court.

I think we're saying the same thing. If Ginsburg were to retire now, Hatch would stay on the reservation and prevent the nomination from reaching a vote until after the November election. There is no way that Obama will get to replace her.
Now, if Hatch loses the primary and decides to go rogue like Specter and stick it to Republicans...

Anybody who leaves the court between now and the next administration should NOT be replaced under Obama. Let the liberals whine.
