I'm absolutely completely sure that the Republican party has not asked Obama to ignore the Constitution. Some Republicans have, yes, but not the party.
The party is not saying "don't appoint anyone", the party is saying "nobody you appoint will pass the Senate", which is a huge world of difference.

after years of complaining that Obama ignores the Constitution and is acting like a tyrant, blah blah yackety shmackety ad nauseum, republicans have been trying to pretend the President should not -- or must not, depending on who you ask -- nominate a successor to Scalia's seat on the Supreme Court until after the election. in effect, Obama should ignore his duties so that the next president (who will be a democrat) can nominate Scalia's successor.

If the next president will be a Democrat (quite definitive on that statement, aren't you?), then why the hell are you even bitching about this?

the way things are looking, if Obama does refuse to nominate someone (which he won't), and Trump or Cruz secures the nomination, expect democrats to hold the presidency AND the Senate next year, making the whole exercise moot anyway. i don't understand why reality is so hard for republicans to accept, but that seems to be the continuous state of the "conservative" party.

You honestly think Dems are going to win the Senate? I mean, I'm still up in the air about who will win the Presidency (I hope Trump doesn't win the nomination; if he does, I am afraid you are right, the next pres will be Hillary), but to believe that Reps will lose the Senate is laughable.
republicans ironically ask Obama to ignore Constitution

If you want to ignore precedents, maybe your argument starts to make a bit of sense...well, no.

You didn't cite examples of the last year of Eisenhower's presidency, which is the point

I know numbers real good. Not one of the Eisenhower citations was in 1960, his last year in office. *NM*

Well, he's ignored it this long so he might as well keep ignoring it.
