Wait a minute. When did the Democrats keep a seat open without hearings and a vote on a Republican nominee for over a year? For that matter, when did they fillibuster a Republican nominee as McConnell and most Republicans have indicated they're willing to? Bitch all you want about how mean, awful and nasty the Dems were to Bork, Thomas, etc, they all received rather undelayed hearings and votes. Only Bork was actually rejected (with several Republican votes against him as well), resulting in the speedy 97-0 ratification of Justice Kennedy.

From Srinivasan's Wiki page:

"At his formal swearing-in ceremony in September, administered by retired Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor, he took the oath on the Hindu holy book Bhagavad Gita."

Can't WAIT to hear Trump, Carson, and Cruz's take on this. Rubio will probably say something stupid just to keep up with the others, but it just won't be the same.
