If Obama is smart, he would nominate the biggest lefty on thi sie of the Pacific/Atlantic!!!
Think about it, this is to ensure that the Conservatives will lose either the White house, or influence on the Supreme Court!
Think about it, the politics for blocking an Obama nomination and winning the White House is too complex and involved for the current crop of GOP politicians.They can't tie their shoes let alone win two important yet different political events!.
I'll admit, the GOP is great at blocking--and losing at the ballot box. But when they fail to block, they usually win at the ballot box. Can they block a Congressional action and win at the ballot box? This is the only strategy that Democrats will give the useless toothless Republicans.
If the GOP fails at one or the other, liberalism becomes a permanent major characteristic in our government. Then, the conservatives will have something to truly ***** about!!
