Senate Republicans Vow to Reject Any Supreme Court Pick
-------------------------------------------------------

Senate Republicans have vowed not to hold even so much as a courtesy
meeting with President Obama's pick to replace Justice Antonin Scalia on
the Supreme Court. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mc Connell said
Republicans will wait until a new president is in place next January.

Sen. Mitch Mc Connell: "This is a unique circumstance, and you'd have to
go back to 1888, when Grover Cleveland was president, to find the last
time a vacancy created in a presidentially elected year was approved by
a Senate of a different party."
