First GOP senator calls for vote on Garland court nomination

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Mark Kirk became the first Republican senator to break with party leaders and call for a vote on President Barack Obama's Supreme Court selection, saying Friday, "It's just man up and cast a vote."
The statement by Kirk, who faces a difficult re-election battle this fall in Democratic-leaning Illinois, came two days after Obama nominated Merrick Garland to fill the vacancy created by the February death of Justice Antonin Scalia. Garland, a Chicago native, is chief judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Kirk's stance directly contradicts the path charted by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that most GOP senators have followed. McConnell has said for weeks that there will be no Senate Judiciary Committee hearing for any Obama nominee for the vacancy and no confirmation vote by the Senate.

Sure vote out the one that is following the constitution...
Where does it say in the Constitution that the Senate must rubber stamp all lame duck President's appointees? I must have missed that in all of my years of study.
Where is it written in the Constitution that a president's authority to make Supreme Court appointments is in any way mitigated or diminished because he's at a given point in his term.
Where is it written in the Constitution that Supreme Court appointments can't be made during an election year.
A majority of the voters re-elected the president in 2012 to a full four-year term, reflecting the will of the people, including the will of the people to make Supreme Court appointments – the will of the majority of the American people in effect until January 20, 2017, which is in the Constitution.
Yo, you might want to ask Joe Biden? He thinks he`s an expert!!!
