Supreme Court Pick Number Two.
It appears that Obama has set the list of his next Supreme Court appointee to three people, as Justice Stevens inches toward Retirement. So it is … Diane Wood, Merrick Garland, Elena Kagan. The next Supreme Court Justice is one of those people.
Meanwhile, Mark Ambinder throws out this statement.
Obama and his team are well aware that judicial confirmation battles almost always excite Republicans and confuse Democrats.
I suppose a policy of Total Opposition will do that for the Republicans, along with the basic role of “Judicial Appointments as Fund Raising Tool”. Isn’t that all Roe V Wade is for the Republican Party, really? For the Democrats, their tendency to really like and find that Supreme Court Justice the “Real Deal” might well confuse us.  So here too — who does Mark Ambinder think he is — Mark Halperin?
Anyway — read up. Some thoughts and some links found here. But this will just confuse you even more.
