Mitch McConnell just surprised me - from The Washington Times:
Mitch McConnell rules out replacing Antonin Scalia until new president is elected
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Saturday that the Senate should wait until a new president is elected to confirm a replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia, whose sudden death Saturday shook Washington and threatened to reshape the 2016 presidential race.
Democrats said that with 11 months left in Mr. Obama’s tenure, the Senate has enough time — and indeed an obligation — to confirm a replacement.
Mr. Go-along-to-get-along seems to actually be standing up for his party and not caving to the power brokers. Good on him - I hope we see more of this.
