This is the worst news possible

(Before It's News)

Justice Scalia has passed away. What a disaster for Obama to have the opportunity to make that nomination. I wonder if the Republicans in the Senate can stall for a year, but I doubt it. There are too many squish Republicans who will think that they have to show deference to Obama's nominations. As if Democrats have ever shown such deference.

Too many decisions are 5:4 now. This will flip everything that conservatives care about. We'll have to see if cases before the Court right now may end up as ties that will revert to the lower court decisions.

Now it becomes more important than ever for the Republicans to stop horsing around with the nomination battle. We can't afford a President Trump making nominations. He's already bought into liberal spin to criticize Scalia on affirmative action. And he praises his sister a radical pro-abortion circuit court judge. With a real opportunity to win this year, let's not throw away that opportunity. The Supreme Court is too important to turn over to Clinton or Sanders.

Even with a Republican president, it would probably be impossible to get a conservative like Scalia ever confirmed again.

My condolences to his family. It is a tragedy for them and a disaster for the country.
