I fully expect congress to act responsibly and quickly approve the nomination of a suitable replacement.

Roughly zero percent chance that any nominee gets confirmed this year. Obama already got to appoint two justices.

Business as usual as one side derails the other at the expense of a smoothly-functioning government. Is anyone really surprised at Republican plans to simply stall and do nothing else anymore?

The longest we've gone without a new justice was 26 months under Tyler.

The longest time from nomination to confirmation was 126 days

I am not sure the context of Tyler's SCOTUS.

In any case holding up the nomination for that long is pretty much a constitutional crisis. Those are great

It happens whenever a Democrat President is in so it shouldn't come as a surprise.

When the Republicans are in anyone who objects to them steamrollering their policies through is a freedom-hating terrorist.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued its first major split decision since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, delivering a victory to unions and further inflaming the debate over President Obama’s nominee.

The court divided 4-4 in a case that threatened to roll back state laws requiring some public sector workers to pay union fees. Before Scalia’s death, unions had been expected to lose the case, an outcome that could have dealt a heavy blow to their membership.

Instead, the case ended in a tie, upholding a lower court ruling in favor of the California Teachers Association.
Groups on the left and right quickly highlighted the case to try and rally support in the battle over Judge Merrick Garland, Obama’s nominee to replace Scalia.

Has the death of a single man ever had such a big impact on unionization in the U.S.? I don't know but thank you for not dieting and exercising Scalia.
