I was moved to write this on a petition and send it to the Senator for this state(NC) when I read his reasoning on delaying an appointment to the Supreme Court by President Obama.

The people did make a choice. We chose President Obama twice to lead us and to do his Constitutional duties for as long as he was in office. Not to be a figurehead during his last months, or to only fill a certain number of Supreme Court seats. We did choose this president to represent us until the day the newly elected one takes the oath of office, and to appoint justices for the court as needed for whatever reason. I ask that you let the will of the people, which we have already shown, be carried out.

Just my few cents...
