Actually, the NYT gets a half a point. Republicans did indeed put the kabash on the nomination process when Scalia passed. However, it was the democrats that didn't push hard enough, because they thought Hillary was going to win. They wanted to reward her with letting the first women president pick the next SCJ. Sucks for them.

Well, you can't make an omelet....
If Kennedy retires and President Trump is able to place an originalist and textualist justice on the Supreme Court, the court will have an originalist and textualist majority for the first time in 70 years. For 70 years the court has been putting out decisions mostly to move the country toward the Progressive, leftist, agenda.
It is far past time they started enforcing the Constitution, instead of altering it.
Amen to that! What a change for the better for the country it would/will be.
I’m not sure how many Republicans would be willing to be seen opposing another Justice Gorsuch. Even several Democrats who face a reelection campaign this year, in States Trump won decisively, might flinch in the face of that decision.
“are they also begging sotomayor, breyer and RBG not to die?”
Or maybe they have some G2 on one of them having one foot on a banana peel and the other in a cemetery plot? My “dream” SCOTUS is one where the Fat Yenta is the only Liberal left. An 8 to 1 court and all those years left to just sit there!
Right you are! The Wise Latrina has serious Type 1 Diabetes and she has had some episodes.

That’s why we need one ( or more ) of them to go one way or the other, this year.
Yes, not good at all.
I’m so glad I’ve missed that wonderful part of life so far.
They carried Lenin's waxy looking corpse through the streets for years. They also get dead people to vote and collect benefits.
I totally expect them to try to reanimate Ruthy.
