SCOTUS Justices thoughts about replacing Associate Justice Scalia [View all]
There is an on-going backlog of judges being approve for the Federal courts. The result is that the Federal courts are clogged with cases. In the past, different Supreme Court Justices have voiced concern about the slow pace of the Senate's approval process and its effect on the judicial process.
Given that each ideological side wants a nominee for their team, I suspect they are appalled that the vacancy won't be filled until late Spring in 2017. Could any of the current Justices comment on this issue?
