Supreme Nominee: Who will Obama tyrannize us with?

[Cheerful Charlie]

Just out of curiosity, why would Klobuchar be on this list? I've not heard her mentioned anywhere. Is this just more of your Minnesota promoting?

I've heard it repeatedly in local news over the years, but I only put her in because she was listed in both national sources as one of the top four candidates. I personally don't think she is viable.

She went on Rachel Maddow's show and said she doesn't want to be a SC nominee. And she has not heard from the Obama staff over this anyway. It was a very good natured interview.

Irrelevant point: Klobuchar is the first Minnesota Senator since Muriel Humphrey (1978) that I have not spent significant time conversing with.

... I choose Merrick Garland because I do know something about him, and from all indications he'd make a great choice. He's also a great political choice - hard for the Repubs to throw out without looking like they're being obstructionist. ... if he is really devious, he'd pick Garland and then wait for them to reject the nominee. If they do so, they look bad.

Good lord, I see that you've cranked up the propaganda transmission belts. The party press agentry, as I recall, is that whoever Obama (or any Democrat) appoints is merely "liberal-leaning" and "a moderate" or "mainstream"; demanding support from the Senate because they are usually "important symbols" of women and racial-ethnic minorities. (Hence Ginsburg's quote that there will only be enough women on the Supreme Court when ALL NINE justices are women...ahhh, the reasonable voices of the "liberal-leaning" moderates).

A reminder. In 2010 Kagan was (along with Garland) listed by the MSM as two of Obama's "moderate" choices. Kagan was appointed and, like her comrades, like all on the Democratic block, they are sharp elbowed liberals (having origins from the ACLU to Obama's Solicitor General). All of them have voted as a unbreakable left-wing block on all important issues since their appointment (with, perhaps one negotiated exception on a single aspect of Obamacare).

My goodness, what would a robust liberal vote look like, voting like Lenin?

So given the historical experience of Bork, Douglas Ginsburg, and Thomas; as well at the paranoid vetting and blistering treatment of Bushs two appointments (including a failed filibuster of Alito by the majority of Democrats) there shouldn't be a problem...

Endorse the Schumer Rule: Quote him word for word; no more fake moderates (like Kagan), so no more Obama appointees.

You DO realize that the people on the TV set can't actually hear you, right?

Yeah I was pretty drunk last night. Luckily this was the only thing I posted on the web or texted.

Sneeeeeeeeaky.

So, she insists she doesn't want the job.
Obama doesn't nominate her. She's not on the short list of possible nominees.
An administration insider releases a leak that Obama insists 'that woman' will not be on the SCOTUS in his lifetime. She's literally the last person on Earth that he wants in place, even if he has to nominate a Klansman.
A Hillary insider leaks that Hillary agrees with Obama.

The Senate cackles their evil cackle and confirms her as an anti-nominee.
The president is helpless, simply helpless, but to accept their approval and she becomes the newest SC Justice... Dammit.

Tonight, Rachel Maddow asked Joe Biden about rumors Obama might nominate Biden for the Supreme Court. Biden stated in no uncertain terms he is not interested in being on the Supreme Court.
