Why replacement for Chief Justice Scalia could set off a major battle in USA--

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.
