I must admit that it worries me.
However, Mitch McConnell has already gone on record, in his expression of condolences to the Scalia family, that the next Supreme Court appointment should be made by the next president.
Look at the composition of the present Senate Judiciary Committee. Republican majority and they don't seem likely to approve a radical appointed by Obama.
Even if the Judiciary Committee should pass an Obama appointee out of Committee, McConnell would have to allow it to come to a vote of the full Senate. With a Republican Majority in the Senate, seems unlikely to me that the full Senate would allow a rushed vote for a radical Obama appointee.
The real concerns I have are that in November that the Republicans gain the White House, and maintain control of the Senate.
So the solution is for gun owners to support Republican and conservative candidates who promise to support and uphold the Second Amendment. Frankly, I'm saying that it should be a litmus test - it is for me.
