To the Editor:

First, we offer condolences for the loss of Antonin Scalia. While I didn’t agree with much of his conservative views, I acknowledge his intellectual prowess and legal mind.

That said, the Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, needs to read the Constitution. It is the obligation of the president, who was elected by a majority of the American people, to put forth a candidate to replace Justice Scalia.
