McConnell blocks Senate action on Obama court pick
In a decisive move McConnell ruled out Senate hearings or a full vote on any Obama Supreme Court nominee. He said the panel would not act and the full Senate would not consider a nomination until a president of the opposite party is in office. The stance deepens the election year fight over replacing Justice Scalia and draws reactions from Democrats and some Republicans alike.
