Why?  Mitch McConnell certainly had no problem announcing almost immediately hours before Obama spoke that he would not permit a vote on a new appointment while Obama is President.  Obama is prepared to follow the constitution and do his job.  McConnel is determined to make sure the senate will not be permitted to do theirs.  Of course Mitch had no difficulty in voting for a Reagan appointment in the final months of the Reagan administration.  The longest vacancy period in Supreme Court history is 128 days, but the GOP has decided we will now at least triple that record!  Political hypocrisy is such fun!!
