Going to be interesting.
BUT I fail to see a reason why the president should wait. Other then who he nominates will be very scary.

Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a self-serving statement. I suppose the above makes sense for those who think the American people had no voice in the selection of the current President.

It will be interesting to see how moderate the eventual winning nominee is. And it will certainly be entertaining for those of us who follow politics - at least those of us with no dog in the race.

It's not crazy to think that there could even be another vacancy in the near term, before the election. Scalia was not the oldest. I wonder if Bill or Hill would be up for the job.

Oh MY! Forget about Hill or Bill.
From FoxNews (the last line is the big one): Though the Senate changed its own rules for handling certain nominations back in 2013, it still takes 60 votes to confirm a Supreme Court nominee - a high bar for Obama, whose party holds 46 seats in the Senate (counting two independents). Republicans could try to run out the clock on any Obama nominee, in hopes of having a potential Republican president nominate someone more aligned with their views next year. At the same time, such a nomination battle would instantly raise the stakes for the 2016 presidential election itself. Considering the health and advanced age of several Supreme Court justices, the topic of judicial appointments already was an issue on the campaign trail - but an open seat would hand the next president the power to single-handedly, with consent of the Senate, preserve or shift the balance. And it also potentially sets up the oddest of possibilities - Obama himself being a contender for the court appointment should a Democrat win the White House.

Factually speaking, that was really not the case. Figuratively speaking, perhaps.

It is hardly fair to ask fantasy land questions that can never happen. Fantasy always wins. He can NOT run for another term. So it does not matter what anyone would think they might do in such a gangway alternate reality.
