The president has the constitutional right and obligation to appoint members to the court. It would be unprecendented and beyond their constitional duty if the senate refused to confirm a nominee just to run out the clock.

I'm sure Obama has someone picked out and ready to go, everyone knows the court is old and anyone of them could go at any time...
Now, let's get back to electing a 75 yr old Marxist, shall we?

He has the right to nominate one. If he had the right to appoint one Bork would be a justice. The Senate has a Constitutional duty to approve or not the Supreme Court nominee. This is not a dictatorship. You might want to look to history in re the cocksucker FDR's effort to pack the court. That didn't work.

This is not packing the court. This is appointing a justice to fill a vacancy. The senate's job is to consent to a qualified candidate. Blocking a nomination because theyre hoping for a republican president a year from now is beyond unacceptable.
