Re: 2016 Election
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.

Re: 2016 Election
Reports suggest he was there for a quail hunt. Anyone know where Dick Cheney is?
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.

Re: 2016 Election
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."
