Don't worry guys, the Republican senators were quite clear on this 4 years ago, so I'm sure they'll abide by that philosophy.

This vacancy arose during Obama's final year as president, and shortly after Scalia's death was announced, Republican Senate leaders declared that because Scalia's seat had become vacant during an election year, the Senate would not even consider a nomination from the president.

FWIW Obama made the nomination on March 16, 2016. We're now 46 days out from the election. Can the Democratic senators and American public writ large find a way to delay this sufficiently?
