Who's gonna be Bamas first pick for SC Justice?
A woman?
A minority?
Pubbies have already sworn to fight against his choice, pretty much whoever it may be.
I officially hate the term 'activist judge'. It's only purpose is provide conservative politicians a weapon to accuse liberal judges of making decisions outside of the constitution when it's simply a matter of differing interpretations - like it always has been.

You realize the apple rolls both ways, right?

I think he'll certainly be aware of the political expedience of having a minority and/or another woman seated. On the other hand I doubt he'll propose anyone extremely far left.
Since it's been such a long time since the last seat was available, there are so many viable candidates out there he's going to have a hard time picking a bad one. Not that it matters; there'll be an enormous ********* no matter who he picks.
His first choice will be perfectly viable but he'll undoubtedly have a couple in reserve just in case.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

What I meant by "viable" was "acceptable to a majority of the Senate under normal circumstances". That is, I expect there to be a flurry of debate over the first choice, whereas if that same person were the second choice they'd be confirmed without a hitch.

Well, more that he has to have a couple of good candidates ready to present, and it's a bit of a gamble as to which one he nominates first.

See: the embarrassingly absurd questioning of Dawn Johnsen by Republican Senators, despite her qualifications and actual previous experience at the position she was nominated to.

So we may evaluate your future protestations, define qualifications.
I'm going to set the bar low with at least 10 years experience as a judge.
Hehe, set the "bar." I'm so punny.
Locked,
You're on.

Let's hope he picks somebody who has actually paid their taxes. Not that it'll be much of an impediment, given the track record.

It better be a 40 year old with a strong commitment to privacy issues. I could give a fuck if that person's an one legged Inuit lesbian. What's more likely to happen is that in his seemingly endless desire to to be seen as moderate, he'll move the Court to the right.

Well. He is going to have a hard time satisfying all the folks on the left though. It's not like there are that many transexual, transgender, gay *and* lesbian, half black, half white, half latino, blind, deaf, quadriplegic, ADHD sufferers with a speech impediment who are qualified for the job...
