First and foremost, RIP.
Secondly, this is a lose-lose for the GOP. They're going to cave and confirm the moderate that Obama chooses, after five months of drawn drawn-out delays. Any shorter and it comes off as too buddy-buddy and they lose some credibility among undecideds, any longer and they come off as hostile and too partisan and they lose undecideds. If they try and stall it any past August they're gonna bite themselves in the election, and then they might lose Senate seats on top of the election - then President Clinton/Sanders puts in somebody much more liberal. There's no way to win this one unless they somehow rig the election or convict Clinton (assuming she wins the primary, which is anything but given right now).
Mind you, even if Obama nominated a moderate who leans right (think Roberts) the court as a whole is still shifting drastically to the left. Either way this will be the big election issue until the Senate caves (which I expect to happen very quickly because the respectable GOP senators won't stand by Cruz and McConnell if they try to delay it and the Dems need only a handful of votes to win this one).
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
