The GOP would explode. Emergency rooms would get more aneurysm research done in the week following a Bill Clinton SCOTUS nomination than at any time in history.

Sorry, I know it won’t happen. Not even sure if I’d support it. But damn wouldn’t it be funny?

Sorry to see Souter go. But iirc, he really doesn’t like living in D.C., so I wish him a happy retirement. We’re lucky he didn’t retire last year.

But unfortunately, on Rahm’s advice, he will proably go

Said repubs show deference to the pres and think he should get the nominee he chooses. He used as proof that Ginsberg was approved 97-3.<br /> We shall see. Hope someone’s saving that tape for when Joe starts trashing Obama’a choice.</p> MoJoe just gave a speech saying that repubs view S.C. nominations differently than dems.
