Others disagree. If the shoe were on the other foot and the democrats had the white house and the senate, they would right now be trying to confirm another member of the Supreme Court.

Political experts say the push to confirm a new Supreme Court justice is driven in part by the fact republicans control the senate now but might not come january. Our nbc bay area analyst explains. Reporter after the election and in january there is a very good chance the democrats will have the majority. And at that point all bets are off of course.
