This is like Thatcher again, except that in this case the world becomes a quantifiably better place because they die. So gently caress yeah I'm cheering all the way from Europe.

the fallout of this is going to be a supernova. the republicans are going to block whomever obama nominates, but there are two judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that were unanimously confirmed by the senate. if obama nominates either of these two, republicans are going to have a tough time trying to argue (and right in the middle of a presidential election) that it isn't sour grapes when they don't confirm one of them.

The actually funny part is if they try to block the nomination, that makes the nomination the only issue in the entire presidential campaign, and is going to drive the under 30 demographic to vote more than ever in history. It's going to kill GOP's chances at the presidency entirely. In fact it would probably drive Bern straight into presidency.
