So the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee are falling inline with the plan to not move on any nominee. They and McConnell have made it very clear they will not vote on any, and will likely not even meet with a nominee. The best move Obama can make right now is nominate a Scalia clone. I am okay with a split bench, so this bothers me none and it is a lose-lose situation for the Senate.
By not moving on such a nominee they would just make Obama and the left look more willing than them to reach across the aisle. If they move on the nominee then they show that their concerns were nothing to do with the people and entirely about getting their way.
