President Obama noted that not since the Civil War has the Congress refused to confirm a Supreme Court justice. Now the Obama appointee-in case you have forgotten- is Merrick B. Garland. It will be interesting to see what Congress will do once the election is over. If Trump wins they will refuse to confirm guessing they will get a more right wing nominee from Trump and if Clinton wins that will jump on Garland figuring Clinton will nominate a more left wing judge.
Update: The MSNBC post on Facebook was; "The last time a Supreme Court seat was kept vacant through Election Day was in 1864. At the height of the Civil War. So, this isn't about precedent. This is about the obstruction of a broken Republican-led Congress". On Facebook on Oct 9, 2016
