If they refuse to act on the nominee, nobody's going to stop them. (said with a nod to Yogi)
Yes, we will...
Obama could appoint Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, but the Senate should As Trump said, “Delay, Delay, Delay!”

Precedents matter...
Don't we know it! Every Republican Senator was elected to office and should obey his oath of office by rejecting anti-Consitutionalists every time one is nominated.
Hey Daniel, Alabama won again.
Obama Senate Supreme Court Nominees
â€As we all know, there's been a lot of discussion in the country about how the Senate should approach this confirmation process.
I disagree with this view.
I believe firmly that the Constitution calls for the Senate to advise and consent.’

If the Donald wins the nomination and if he wins the election which I doubt he will nominate his sister Judge Maryanne Trump Barry for the Supreme Court!! Blood is thicker than water and he doesn’t have any core principles..
“”Elections have consequences.” President Obama once said that, and yet it’s true. One might have hoped we’d all have learned it by now.”
Cry me a river. The elections for US Senate have consequences too.
Does the President appoint or simple recommend?
The Democrats have made a cottage industry of forcing Republican presidents to nominate liberal judges when they were in power. This whole discussion is a mute point. The president has to nominate a candidate that the Senate will confirm....period!!!
They need to be stopped from filling the seat, HOW it’s done doesn’t much matter to me.
He nominates and the senate either accepts or rejects!!!
It's the Senate...the house has no constitutional role to play!!!
How much weight should we give to a 55-year old “sense of the Senate” resolution?

The Constitution is 226 years old ...
