GOP plan to blockade all Democratic Supreme Court appointees

[solarbird]

I saw the CATO Institute article saying "this would be constitutional," as well as Mr. McCain's (walked back, sort of) commentary on blocking any potential nominee by Ms. Clinton, but I hadn't seen that both Ted Cruz and Richard Burr (NC) had also, apparently, signed on to such a blockade. From Bloomberg:

"'If Hillary Clinton becomes president, I am going to do everything I can do to make sure four years from now, we still got an opening on the Supreme Court,' Burr, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told a group of Republican volunteers, according to CNN."

Because it isn't about obstruction, but about making sure the American people get a say when they elect their next president!

It's about "there is no legitimate opposition, so anything we do is fine."
