Get ready for an epic battle, folks. President Obama now has a chance to break the conservative stranglehold on the Supreme Court.
Ted Cruz wastes no time getting his obstructionism on.
Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, & the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement.
