With 8 members now -- 4 liberals and 4 conservatives -- the court is effectively deadlocked, with a heavy caseload

  1. Justice Scalia's death will trigger a lengthy battle over his replacement:
  2. . pushed hard for appointment of Roberts, Chief Justice who twice rescued . Not best guy to appoint replacement.
  3. Senate Democratic leader reacts to Scalia death, says search for replacement should not wait.
  4. Seems close to 100% that every remaining GOP presidential candidate will demand no Scalia replacement until after the election
