GOP presidential hopefuls debate Obama’s chance to nominate Supreme Court Justice

Hours after Justice Antonin Scalia’s death, his conservative legacy and replacement on the U.S. Supreme Court bench were debated by each of the GOP candidates vying for the Oval Office. The six Republican candidates took to the stage in South Carolina to remember Scalia during a moment of silence before “Face the Nation” anchor John Dickerson kicked off the debate with a round-robin Q&A on Scalia’s vacancy. “It’s not even two minutes after the death of Judge Scalia,” said Ohio Gov. John Kasich. “I wish we hadn’t run so fast into politics.” Each candidate, in his own way, said he hopes Obama will either delay or falter at nominating the next U.S. Supreme Court justice during his administration’s final year.(Nydailynews.com)…[+]
