GOP’s obstructionist do-nothings

Why would the Republican-controlled Congress refuse to consider any nominee to replace Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia this year? Perhaps they would like to see the third branch of the government just as hamstrung and incapable of accomplishing the peoples business as the other two branches of government.

The American people deserve better! The GOP can only lose support of the people by being obstructionist do-nothings.
