I agree with her comments on this particular issue. It's funny that the gop has claimed to be the staunch defenders of the Constitution and yet will ignore their duties in this case, once again crossing their arms and pouting.

Obama is president until Jan. 20, 2017. It's his job to nominate a justice, the Senate has a responsibility to vote.
