The Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee has vowed not to hold hearings on any Obama SCOTUS nominees.
The president would like an explanation:
In Oval Office photo op, Pres says it'll be difficult for @SenateMajLdr to explain if blocking SCOTUS confirmation for political reasons.

Fortunately for Obama, he already knows plenty of people who could help explain:

Biden had a pretty good explanation. #justsayin https://t.co/h7XHiCcwu1

Explain it however Obama explained the filibuster on Alito.
That was easy. https://t.co/FmQvyMDVKf— Stephe96 (@Stephe96) February 24, 2016

Quoting Barack Obama, Joe Biden & Senator Reid about their blocking judicial nominations neutralizes Dems. https://t.co/Lkfme32wto
