According to tradition Supreme Court justices aren't nominated in an outgoing president's last year in office -hasn't happened in 80 years according to Ted Cruz in last night's debate

I'm not so sure it is tradition so much as there just hasn't been the opportunity for it to happen. Reagan appointed Kennedy during his last year in office.
There will be a fight, that much is for sure.
I will laugh my ass off if the Republicans put up a huge fight and play dirty just to keep any Obama nominee out then either lose control of the senate or watch a democrat win.
They will shit their pants if they fought to keep an Obama nominee out and Bernie ends up being president.
