Ted Cruz and other conservatives are arguing Obama shouldn't get to replace Justice Scalia

I say Obama could resign. Biden could take his place as POTUS and appoint Obama to serve on the SCOTUS.

Within minutes of the confirmation of the news that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had died, influential conservatives were laying down the notion that President Obama shouldn't be allowed to nominate a replacement.

Presidential candidate and Texas senator Ted Cruz led the charge:

"Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, & the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement."

Conn Carroll, communications director for Utah Republican Mike Lee who sits on the judiciary committee joined the parade:

"What is less than zero? The chances of Obama successfully appointing a Supreme Court Justice to replace Scalia?"

"If anything this will put a full stop to all Obama judicial nominees going forward."

2. The only part they like is a portion of the second amendment

Like the Bible, they severely cherry pick it.
