How does the death of a sitting justice affect the upcoming cases to be heard? Does a temporary justice get appointed or do the current sitting justices hear them or does it put everything on hold?
I believe they carry on consideration of the existing cases with the eight remaining justices. I wonder whether Roberts has a casting vote in the event of a tie? After all, there have been cases in the past where a justice has recused themselves for one reason or another.

I just read that a 4-4 decision means the lower court decision stands.

I have to entertain family this evening, so I'm going to miss the live event. Looks like it's shaping up to be a good 'un.

Anyway, it is odd how all these strict constitutionalists are saying the president should not be allowed to appoint someone because it is actually in the constitution (article 2). He should appoint as soon as possible and make sure it is a good pick because they are going to object to any name put forward.

Who said Obama could not and would not nominate?

Quail Hunt? More like Rich Old Fools Pay $800 Per Night to Pretend They're Cowboys Hunt. Meanwhile, the real cowboys (Mexicans) do all the real work as well as throw roofied animals in front of the guests' gunsights.

McConnell et al are effectively saying don't even bother nominating. Would be ironic if they lost control of Congress in November.

The leader of the Senate Republicans to begin with. Well, "should not" to be more accurate.

"Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the Senate majority leader, backing the sentiments of Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, said in a statement that the next president, not President Obama, should appoint a successor to Justice Antonin Scalia."

What are the odds of Obama nominating a moderate?
