Mitch McConnell said there is no hypocrisy in demanding a vote to replace Kennedy immediately because we are not in the "final months" of an outgoing president's administration.

So what qualifies as final months?

Antonin Scalia died on February 13, 2016 -- over 11 months before the next president would take office.

If he had died on December 31, 2015, would you have agreed to let Obama nominate someone? If not, when?

The rule is Republicans were the majority so they can do whatever they want.

So do you agree that from now on, going forward, presidents can only confirm judges if their party has a majority in the Senate?
