Scalia's death brought about an unusual situation in which a Democratic president had the opportunity to appoint a Supreme Court justice while the Republicans controlled the United States Senate. Before 2016, such a situation had last arisen in 1895, when a Republican-led Senate confirmed Democrat Grover Cleveland's nomination of Rufus Wheeler Peckham to the Court in a voice vote; conversely, in 1988 a Democratic-led Senate had confirmed Republican Ronald Reagan's nomination of Anthony Kennedy.

Well, there's no better time than the present to be correct in one's actions. So if I'm still conflicted about that previous matter then it stands to reason that I would root for the right thing to happen here, which IMO is nomination by Trump and confirmation hearings to swiftly follow. Amirite?
