Why replacement for Justice Scalia will set off a major political battle.
1. Because by design, there are 9 Chief Justices in Supreme Court.
2. Because if he is not replaced, it could be stalled at 4 vs 4 forever theoretically.
3. Because there are cases coming to Supreme Court daily.
4. Because the Court and Justice Dept is separate from Executive branch.
5. Because Justice Scalia was a conservative.
6. Because it's election year.
I guess in a dictatorship or a pseudo democracy, it would not much matter.
