Obama couldnt do this 6 years long and he has much more personal appealing to the people. Maybe the Reps stop any supreme court nominations for years. It depends on if the Dems get a majority in the Senate. If they get a 50/50 split, the VP is the tie breaker and they can change the rules of the senate to confirm SCOTUS nominees with a simple majority. It would be insane, but the filibuster has been abused so much in the last 16 years, I wouldn't be surprised. | ||

They might be pushing their luck, but I wouldn't be so certain. I will say that, if the Republican Party continues to be so dysfunctional that we cannot elect a ninth justice for four years, their presidential primaries are going to look even crazier than this year's. Because by "people" you mean "Republican Voters". | ||

Well there has been a lot of stupid cases that were tied but would have went badly if Scalia were still on the court. It's certainly an interesting change of pace. | ||

And Cali and NY are a big factor in that. | ||

Ohio has 12% reporting and you see lots of big cities already filled in blue. So chances are those areas are over-represented right now. Virginia being the exact opposite with 36% reporting, a safe Clinton state according to pretty much everyone and she's 10 points behind. Then you open up the map to see what's reported and what not and you see all that south-east area still completely grey. so still really meh atm | ||
