Approve new justice
These petulent and obstructionist Republicans should remember that President Obama was elected twice by the American people with overwhelming majorities and take heed of an earlier partisan time when Ronald Reagan’s nominee, Antonin Scalia, was approved by the U.S. Senate 98-0. They should consider and approve whomever Obama nominates to replace Scalia if they meet the qualifications.
