Can the Senate really block Obama's appointee to the point where it becomes irrelevant due to the next elections?

Bernie carefully words his tweet to show that Scalia's family will mourn his passing but Bernie himself won't.

Now that's poetry. :golfclap:

Associate Iustice.

Worked for the Romans, just how Scalia would have liked it.

It would constitute significantly more political control than the 0% they currently have. Short of national referenda on justices I think delaying appointments until after the next election (including by-elections) would probably be the best way to give popular control over the Court.

There is structurally no popular control over the Supreme Court. It is as the Founders intended.
