    got it.

    1. nominate someone like, say, cornel west.

    2. nomination enrages conservative bloviators so much they have a collective brain aneurysm.

    3. end obstructionist nonsense and perhaps get on to the business of actual public service.

    Proofread the post title, thanks.

    I still have confirmation fatigue from Sotomayor, and even with all the hyperbole from her Republican detractors, her hearings were pretty painless, as those things go. I do not look forward to having to care about something like this again so soon.

    In oral arguments all the Justices interrupt each other so much that it is a chore to read a transcript of them (the "..." is used by the court reporter ALOT). Never fear crinkly old white men who have been ruling the country far too long!; the case is mostly over by the time oral arguments come about: through the work of the clerks, the discussions of the Justices and the tons of paper on the case which has already been submitted. Unfunny but TRUE!

    But it is a lawyer. Lawyers are some sort of lower humanoid life form similar to politicians. Judges are just a more corrupt form of lawyer - basically a lawyer-politician hybrid.

    If the Republicans are smart, they'll block her Senate confirmation just to show Obama he cannot get everything he wants from Congress without their support.

    I read this this morning, and it made me like her more. Am I allowed to also say that I like the feisty-ness of Scalia. I can't wait to see her duel with Scalia. I just hope she doesn't get the vapors and faint. Thomas will catch her though.
