1. Obama better not shy away from this fight... and I also hope he goes left of center with his pick

3. He won't but he will show some class and let them bury the man

On the other hand Harry Reid had to respond to the turtle.

6. We'll find out Obama's true colors now! This is his legacy.

I get the republican push-back and I hope there's a way around it.

2. They are beyond vulgar

4. Interesting since Ted Cruz serves on Judiciary Committee

I wonder how he can be in two places at once. It is 10-9 without him there. Could the Democrats peel one Republican at the critical time to get it to the floor? Still 60 seems impossible in this environment.

The clock will probably run out, but I would have to think that Obama should use his remaining political capital to get a nomination through. It is the strongest way to establish his legacy.
