I have to hand it to Mitch McConnell. By promptly stating that a replacement to Justice Scalia will be delayed until after November, he beat the White House to the punch and scored a political victory. Here's how:

Had McConnell NOT acted so quickly, Obama would have announced today his intention to appoint (for instance) a black female justice. If McConnell THEN stated that it would be appropriate to delay the appointment hearings, they'd brand him as sexist and racist, thus pushing more women and blacks to vote for Clinton or Sanders.

But that won't happen. This time, McConnell did it right... undoubtedly infuriating Obama. You snooze, you lose, liberals.
