President Obama is expected to address Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s death in a press conference Tuesday afternoon in Rancho Mirage, California.
Scalia was found dead Saturday, kicking off a political firestorm from Republicans, who say they plan to block any nominee Obama puts forward to fill the vacancy.
Obama has said we plans to fill the seat “in due time.”

Chances are he’s going to be the same old thoughtful and “presidential” President he’s been from day one, but wouldn’t it be something if he blindsided Congress with a recess appointment of Loretta Lynch. Oh please oh please oh please.

Well, given that Congress is in session, that wouldn’t be very fruitful.
“Pending the call of the chair.” McConnell shows up every few days with a couple of allies and they adjourn, pending another call of the chair. If someone really wanted to fuck with them, Reid could show up and demand a quorum call. Would force all the Senators to return to Washington.
