Republicans' opening salvo in the upcoming nomination for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s successor was not only offered prematurely, within minutes of confirmation of the 79-year-old Justice’s passing and before either the White House or the Supreme Court could lower their flags to half staff, it was predictably extreme in its demand that President Obama not even offer a nominee...-Salon.

Before the flags could be lowered! 

Heh-heh-heh-heh.
