Scalia just died (really). How will this affect the race?

RIP TRUMP AND SANDERS, basically.

An aside: If you're cheering the death of someone solely on ideological grounds, you need some help. He has a family, kids, friends, etc. Scalia is a person, not a political prop, be respectful.

So what? He wanted to send gay people to prison for having sex with each other. He voted to repeal Obamacare and take health insurance away from millions, which would have resulted in tens of thousands of deaths. He voted to execute innocents. He was an awful person, who caused death and suffering.

So the GOP will block any appointment until the election, right?

Not sure if that would be in their best interests. More Republican obstructionism would hurt them not only in the presidential election, but the Senate as well.

Yes, obstruction would hurt swing state Senators up for re-election, like Ayotte, Portman and Toomey.
