How Scalia’s Death Just Threw the Senate, the GOP and the Supreme Court Into Disarray

Jay Newton-Small wrote for Time about the effects of the death of Antonin Scalia on the GOP:

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia always did like to cause a stir in life and his death will be no exception.

The conservative’s untimely demise in Texas this weekend upends the GOP, a party already in turmoil, and potentially the Supreme Court. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell has already said that Scalia’s replacement should not be picked until a new President is.

“The American people‎ should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President,” McConnell said in a statement Saturday.
