Will The Senate Uphold The Law and Block Obama's Nominee.

The unfortunate passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has opened a vacancy on our nation’s highest court. Whoever fills that vacancy, the American people deserve a nominee chosen by the next president, not by an administration with one foot out the door.
The Constitution is very clear that the president has the power to nominate new members of the Supreme Court, “with the Advice and Consent of the Senate.” There is broad agreement among constitutional scholars that our elected representatives in Congress can say “no” if they choose. They don’t have to rubber-stamp new judges.
