COTUS is clear, POTUS nominates and the Senate advises and consents to the nomination.
President Obama will do his duty and nominate a replacement for Justice Saclia, and the Senate Republicans, even before said nomination, will begin to assassinate the character of the unknown person as liberal, and one who will allow abortion up to the birth, the confiscation of all firearms from our citizens and the suppression of voting by anyone who has not given their DNA to a government agent.
It's clear, Sen. Cruz said so and he never lies. In fact the Republican's will once again vote in lockstop to deny President Obama his choice, even if Jesus Christ himself appeared with The President in the Rose Garden as his nominee,.
