Senate Republicans have vowed not to hold even so much as a courtesy meeting with President Obama’s pick to replace Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Republicans will wait until a new president is in place next January.

Sen. Mitch McConnell: “This is a unique circumstance, and you’d have to go back to 1888, when Grover Cleveland was president, to find the last time a vacancy created in a presidentially elected year was approved by a Senate of a different party.”
