WASHINGTON — The vow by Senate Republicans to block whomever President Obama nominates to fill the sudden vacancy on the Supreme Court presages a prolonged election year struggle, but the clash is less a new front against the White House than an escalation of a battle that had begun at the appeals court level before Justice Antonin Scalia died.

Third, if Mrs Clinton defies that prediction and nominates someone like Goodwin Liu, a judge deemed too liberal by Republicans when Mr Obama nominated him to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2010 (he withdrew after incurring Republican Party opposition), the only way she would get him into Mr Scalia's old seat is by persuading Senate Democrats—assuming they control the chamber—to expand the so-called "nuclear option" they first resorted to in 2013.
