Read the Q&A about the supreme court on page A2 "What's next for the supreme court".

1. What did you learn about the issue with the supreme court?
I learned that Supreme Court will be getting a new supreme court justice due to the passing of 
Justice Antonin Scalia. However, it's likely that President Obama's recommendations won't be listened to and the Republicans will get their way again. That last part wasn't in the article, more of a personal opinion.
2. Who recently died that is causing this situation?
Justice Antonin Scalia
3. Do you think there should be pressure put on congress to deal with this deadlock problem?
Yes! Someone some where should have the power to call of this deadlock we're in so that government and President Obama can move towards making a decision.
4. Are you aware of the problems facing the president as he works towards appointing the next supreme court judge? What do you think should happen? I am very aware of the situation and it angers me that the Republicans in power can just stop government momentum whenever they aren't getting their way. It's only fair that the President, though his term ends soon, should get to work cooperativelywith the Senate to make a decision.
