Pray that this Congress will not let Obama and Democrats fill this Supreme Court vacancy

The timing, in some ways, is awful for conservatives, but in other ways it is perfect.  Do this one thing – let the next president and next Senate fill this seat – and we will begin to trust you again.  Fail, and there is no reason for conservatives to ever trust Washington Republicans again. Bruce Walker 

Don't Let Obama Fill Scalia's Seat   "Congress has frittered away virtually every constitutional power save one:  the power of the Senate to deny presidential appointments to the federal bench.  If Senate Republicans expect conservatives to ever trust them on anything, then they must decline to consider Obama's nominee to replace Justice Scalia." 

Thomas Lifson; Dems in Senate passed a resolution in1960 against election year Supreme Court appointments   "Read it and weep, Democrats. The shoe is on the other foot. David Bernstein at the Washington Post’s Volokh Conspiracy blog:" . . .

The impact of Scalia's death on the major court cases to be decided this term   . . . "There are enough Senate Republicans who will be absolutely adamant that no justice be confirmed before the next president takes office so that no matter what some other Republicans may want, there is no chance that Obama will get to name Scalia's replacement - unless the president uses his recess appointment powers (Note: Republicans have foiled several Obama recess appointments by technically keeping the Senate in session.) But with that comforting thought comes the realization that the damage to conservative causes will be significant because of the 8 justice court and the lost voice of a great jurist whose impact on history would only have grown if he lived."

Democrats are fundraising big time over the loss of Scalia

Leading candidates to replace Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court
. . . "Srinivasan is probably the only acceptable candidate to some Republican Senators among the names mentioned above. But regardless of what the makeup of the Senate is after the 2016 election, it's probable that there won't be enough GOP supporters to confirm any nominee named by a Democratic president unless the Senate flips and Dems take control.
"No doubt the president will make competence and temperment secondary considerations to the color of the skin and sex of a candidate. Obama is a slave to "diversity" and we shouldn't expect him to change now.
"Is this the most important presidential election in history? Considering the stakes, it's hard to argue otherwise."

FLASHBACK: In 2007, Schumer Called For Blocking All Bush Supreme Court Nominations    . . .  "When George W. Bush was still president, Schumer advocated almost the exact same approach McConnell is planning to pursue. During a speech at a convention of the American Constitution Society in July 2007, Schumer said if any new Supreme Court vacancies opened up, Democrats should not allow Bush the chance to fill it “except in extraordinary circumstances.' ” . . .
