#3 Obama will appoint a replacement during a Christmas recess (or sooner). McConnell will not stay in session until there is a new president. Everyone knows it, that's why Obama is not pushing too hard.

#5 SCOTUS already ruled. The Senate decides when its in session and out of session not the Executive branch. Separation of powers. You know who to blame if it does come to pass.

#7 I'm truly surprised that the 'pubs have held out on this.

Maybe the exit of Eric Cantor and Boehner got through to some people.

I only pray that they stay tough.

How about if Trump wins he appoints Cruz to the SC?

#9 I'm truly surprised that the 'pubs have held out on this.

Someone in the Beltway can read the writing on the wall and it's spelled T-R-U-M-P. If the GOPe want to elect him, all they have to do is fold to Obama again. Not to mention seeing themselves lose control of either or both Houses.
