Another point about the Right blocking Obama’s responsibility to nominate a Supreme Court Justice, Andrew Bradford makes the case that the Right’s obstruction is not only unconstitutional, it is also stupid.

Also, consider this scenario: Republicans lose majority status in the Senate, Hillary Clinton wins the White House by a huge margin, and can then nominate the most liberal judge she can find, leaving a progressive imprint on the high court for decades to come. At that point, how much will the GOP be kicking themselves for not confirming Judge Garland when they had a chance?
