Having a PD on the bench would be incredible for criminal procedure cases going forward. I'm with Kalman, I hope Obama nominates Jane Kelly. Seems like she would have a much better chance politically.

I don't think the Senate will politically be able to refuse to act on a nominee for a full year. If they want to prevent Obama from replacing Scalia they'll likely have to actually vote on and defeat one or more nominees. Actually defeating his nominees can be spun as the Senate doing it's job and standing as the will of the people against Obama's attempt to transform America. Sitting and doing nothing is blatantly political and likely won't go over well. I also think the political calculation is interesting for Republicans on whether they should want Obama or the next president nominating a replacement. There are roughly nine competitive Senate seats next election, and 7 of them are Republican. An Obama appointee confirmed by this Senate is probably better (from the GOP perspective) than a Clinton/Sanders appointee confirmed by the next Senate. On the other hand, a Cruz/Rubio/Bush/Kasich nominee confirmed by the next Senate would obviously be better for the GOP even if the Senate flips. The wildcard is Trump, because I don't think Republicans could have any confidence in the ideological consistency of a Trump nominee.

On one hand, it's wrong to celebrate someone's death, on the other hand, what if that someone advocated that human beings should be tortured because of TV show logic

joe football posted:Would top candidates for the seat actually want to accept a nomination, given that they're almost certain to be voted down or indefinitely delayed? I feel like in the event of the Sandstorm (or Hillary equivelant) delivering a dem senate in the fall, they would not nominate someone who has already been voted down as a (futile) conciliatory act Darude for president.

Both sides will have to decide if they want to gamble on the election or make some sort of a deal this term. And if they do make a deal, how far are they willing to go before betting on the election starts looking better. It's going to be loving fascinating, honestly.

If I was in their shoes, I would try to press for the most moderate nominee and then stall until the election. If Dems win the election, quickly approve the Obama nom. Hopefully Obama does not try to meet them halfway on a nominee.

I said it as the last post of the previous page, but Scalia was pretty hostile to the exclusionary rule and has suggested that in a country with 42 USC 1983 it may no longer be necessary.
