http://www.occupydemocrats.com/2016/02/15/watch-reagans-ghost-scold-congress-its-your-constitutional-obligation-to-fill-supreme-court-vacancy/

In this clip from the C-SPAN archives, President Reagan implores his Congress and the American people to fulfill their “constitutional obligation” and restore the Supreme Court to its full strength following the 1987 retirement of Justice Lewis F. Powell, whom he replaced with Justice Anthony Kennedy. Reagan had 13 months left in his term.
