Anyone selected to replace Scalia will be a loss for those who believe in interpreting the constitution as intended by the framers. No one can replace Scalia in that respect.

Obama is not one to compromise. He will nominate a radical liberal along the lines of Eric Holder. Republicans in the US Senate need to stick together, don't go into recess, and vote down anyone nominated by Obama.

Nonetheless, Scalia's death has created a constitutional crisis far more severe than will be realized by those who aren't familiar with the operation of the judicial branch of government.

The seriousness of this cannot be overstated. The traditional constitution and the constitutional respect for Judeo-Christian tenets are in big trouble. For once, the people better wake up.

Exactly. Obama is not likely to nominate a moderate when the brass ring is within his grasp. The chance to unbalance the court to a 5/4 liberal advantage exists right here and right now. I don't see him waiting for another time to come around.
