Re: Potential Replacements for Scalia
Question:
Why would anyone want to be nominated by Obama knowing that the Senate will shoot you down?
Would this create a dead end in the career? Has anyone ever been confirmed after losing in a previous Senate vote?

Why are all these conks, who praised Scalia as a strict constructionist, trying to shirk their constitutional duties to a least hold a hearing on the sitting president's SCOTUS nominee?

This leads to whether or not someone will actually accept the nomination given the headwinds. Or does Obama choose a JV player to be sacrificed.
To me, this is the most interesting part.

I'm not so sure. Has this happened before? The circumstances would all be the same for any nominee getting shot down. Sure the landscape changes and another, more favorable, opportunity could theoretically arise, but not sure if it has ever happened.
It will be interesting to see who accepts the nomination. I wouldn't be surprised if people decline. It's an interesting decision.

Re: Potential Replacements for Scalia
Does Obama have a conflict of interest....
Let’s face it.
When it comes to nominating a new Supreme Court nominee, President Obama is facing a huge conflict of interest.
Maybe the biggest of his presidency.
And I’m going to do everything I can to make sure the Senate does what is necessary to uphold the Constitution.
Many of the president’s own executive actions on immigration, climate change, and Obamacare, are under review by the Supreme Court right now.
We already know how Obama wants them to rule.
He thinks he should have the power basically to create immigration law out nothing.
He thinks he has the power to basically cripple entire industries like coal without ever having been given that power by Congress.
It’s a complete Constitutional debate on whose powers it is to legislate right now. Is it the president or Congress?
His entire philosophy of law is up for debate and it will be decided where? At the Supreme Court.
What I see here is a huge conflict of interest.
The president will need to choose a sympathetic character while the court is trying to decide whether or not he’s usurped power unconstitutionally.
He has every motivation to choose a nominee who supports the notion that the executive branch should be more powerful than the legislative-- that the president is the ultimate authority and that Congress, the voice of the people, doesn’t matter at all.
I will not let this happen.
It’s going to be very, very, very difficult to get me to vote for a SCOTUS nomination from this president.
I’m not going to take it lying down and let the president have his way.
I’m not going to let him change the entire process of law in this country without one heck of a fight.
Will you stand with me as I do everything I can to block President Obama’s attempt to silence the opinion of the American public?
