As for the new Justice, that seat won't be filled until after the election cycle. No matter who Obama puts up,the GOP will think they can do better on their own if they win the election, and so won't let anything happen.
Right. Which is the Senate's right to do so, whether or not I agree with it is another thing.
If Obama were smart, he would find a "moderate" to nominate. One he may not agree with on all things but would be a very hard nominee to reject for 9 months.
I'd like to see an identified "libertarian" judge get nominate but we know how likely that is.
