Immediately following the news of Antonin Scalia's death,the "chess game"
over what will happen next began as Obama,Congressional leaders, media
and everyone following the story of when someone should be appointed
was chatted about throughout the weekend.

But, as often happens Rush Limbaugh brought clarity and realism of
what to expect. He calls it "wisdom based on experience".

The "experience" was the behavior pattern of President Obama who
has never delayed doing something he wanted to do. No surprise, he
immediately said he would name a replacement for Scalia.

Second bit of "experience" has been the performance of the Republicans
in Congress who time and again have disappointed their constituents with
their attempts to stop Obama through legislative actions.

That it the "experience"
Now turn to Sen. McConnell who said the Senate would not hold
confirmation hearings this year. Really? Not based on past experience.

The media and pundits thought this was great news, another Washington
food fight!!
food fight!!
Back to Rush. The "wisdom" he offers, don't expect McConnell to
delay confirmation hearings. In seven years the Republican have yet
to even try to stop Obama. The best they offer are lame excuses no
more convincing then "the dog ate my homework"
Based on the "experience" Obama will nominate someone and the Senate
will have confirmation hearings and confirm the nominee.

If anything other than this occurs, that would be news!
