I want in on this action.
We are going to build a big beautiful wall... with the money Plama takes from you
1. That wasn't the question.
2. I am relatively positive no Dem majority leader would come out and say categorically that no nominees would even be considered

Make the boards great again! Toilets!
Not majority leader, but still something for everyone...

"New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer, a powerful member of the Democratic leadership, said Friday the Senate should not confirm another U.S. Supreme Court nominee under President Bush “except in extraordinary circumstances.”
“We should reverse the presumption of confirmation,” Schumer told the American Constitution Society convention in Washington. “The Supreme Court is dangerously out of balance. We cannot afford to see Justice Stevens replaced by another Roberts, or Justice Ginsburg by another Alito.”...
"White House spokeswoman, Dana Perino, said Schumer's comments show "a tremendous disrespect for the Constitution" by suggesting that the Senate not confirm nominees."
I think Obama should nominate Paul Clement or Brett Kavanaugh. See if the Republicans would turn those guys down.
It's a shame that Bork is dead. Sad!
I heard Obama is going to outsource the nomination to MEXICO. Yuge mistake!
Obama is going to drive to the local Home Depot like Jeb (!) and get his nominee! Illegals!
1. Leaving a vacancy open for a year could easily constitute extraordinary circumstances
2. There's a big difference between shifting from 5-4 conservative to 6-3 conservative as opposed to 5-4 conservative to 5-4 liberal.
3. It recognizes that there was a "presumption of confirmation" among Dems less than 10 years ago
4. It was still a dumb thing to say

This is clearly a reductive question coming from a place of naivety, but the court was, until last week, made up of five right-leaning justices and four left-leaning justices -- why shouldn't that paradigm be reversed for a while? Would that really impact the very "stability of our legal system"?
