Their job is to consider Obama's nominees by way of advise and consent. When Republicans announced they would not do that, they revealed they were prepared to violate their oath of office to support the Constitution and discharge the duties to their office.They cannot violate the Constitution in this matter, because they cannot prevent Obama from making a nomination. Of course, Obama cannot also force them to approve his pick.========He will nominate someone and the GOP need to understand that they need to fill that vacancy before November or it will look bad on their part for being too Partisan and Hostile.
Just fill the vacancy and pick another battle to stand your ground on.
The Republican Party is 100% in violation of the Constitution in demanding that Obama wait and not nominate a replacement until after the election in order for them to have ANOTHER chance at getting a Republican President WHO ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOMINATE AN ULTRA CONSERVATIVE.
