What could /should be done about the empty SCOTUS seat? (Details )

So. Many have called it a “stolen seat,” as the Republicans pretty much stole it.

How could this be afforded the Republicans by the inner workings of the US government?

Should the Dems give the Republicans a taste of their own medicine?

How can the court “function ” with a vacant seat?

I know that the empty seat was held by a conservative, so it doesn’t seem like another one would be SO different.

But the seat was rightfully Obama’s to fill….

Is there a way to get the seat back to Obama’s choice?
