Republins are standing fast.
Congressional Republicans reiterated on Wednesday that they have no intention of taking any action on President Barack Obama's Supreme Court pick — a defiant position that foreshadows a tense confirmation fight.
"It is the Senate's constitutional right to act as a check on a president and withhold its consent," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday shortly after the president's announcement.
These fools are even dumber than they seem. According to the same article, 55% of Americans disapprove of their stonewalling. It will hurt their Senators up for reelection. They are about to nominate Donald Trump for President - who Republican insiders have been warning will lose badly in November. They should be jumping at the chance to confirm this guy rather than be stuck with much more liberal judge Hillary is sure to nominate. They won't be able to obstruct her pick for four years. She'd be able to push Vorlon through given that much time. Then they'll be pining for Merrick Garland.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
