I openly do not get it

I openly do not get it.

Can someone more politically savvy than me explain two things to me:

1) Why does Obama not seat his SC pick now?

2) Why does Obama not nationalize the national guard and kick out these mercenaries?

What is the downside? The election is over. The next one is two years away, and Americans cannot remember anything longer than a minute.

Who is he going to piss off?
