TeddyR
(2,493 posts)7. Why?
I don't think it will backfire - the Republican base will lose its mind of Obama gets to appoint Scalia's replacement.

Fumesucker

Oddly enough, purple is the color of royalty.

And with a Democratic President, there's nothing they'll be able to do to stop any nomination for years to come.
