Our next SC Justice ?

[Siete]

Once vetted 97-0 it would be telling of Republicans to block the man.


D.C. Circuit Judge Sri Srinivasan is perhaps the most attractive potential Supreme Court nominee for Obama if the goal is to put pressure on McConnell to allow a Senate confirmation vote. Nominated by Obama in June 2012, Srinivasan was confirmed in May 2013 by a unanimous, 97-0 vote.

Democrats believe that unambiguous verdict on Srinivasan could make it awkward for McConnell to block a vote on his nomination.

A nomination of Srinivasan, 48, to the high court would make history: he was born in India and would be the first Indian-American Supreme Court justice.

A very good choice, especially considering this:

"On Feb. 3, 1988, McConnell and literally every other GOP senator voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. This was during President Ronald Reagan's last year in the White House, and at a time when Democrats controlled the Senate. Kennedy was confirmed 97-0, with three Democrats -- Joe Biden, Al Gore and Paul Simon -- not voting at all because, presumably, they were busy running for president that year."

What happened with votes in 1988, or even 2013 is not particularly relevant or applicable to the advancing situational cluster-fuck in which America currently finds it itself.

Oh, but it is. And we'll use it over and over again...

It would be confirmation of the fact that republicans are interested in only partisan politics, not sound, responsible governance.

Sound responsible American government would recognize the Democratic Party for what it has become, and block it at every turn.
