They "why?" is so that Obama could replace a hard core conservative with a Liberal. With 9 SCOTUS seats and a virtual tie in regards to politics, flipping one is a game changer.

Why not earlier tho, he surely must have foreseen difficulty appointing someone so late? Altho I can see how his power and arrogance cud lead him to this action thinking he cud bribe his way into appointing some1?
