1. He seems pretty qualified, confirmed unanimously, and would be the first Indian on the SC--

neat.

2. Was this one of the people blocked by Cruz? I seem to recall this. eom.

5. I don't think so.

On June 11, 2012, Obama nominated Srinivasan to the seat on the D.C. Circuit. On January 2, 2013, his nomination was returned to the President, due to the sine die adjournment of the Senate.

On January 3, 2013, he was renominated to the same office.

His Senate confirmation hearing on April 10, 2013, was uneventful.

He was confirmed during the first four months of Cruz' term.

4. From what I've read, there is nothing about this man that would dissuade me from

agreeing with this as a SCJ.

6. He's definitely qualified and was unanimously confirmed.

I haven't looked too closely into his political positions but he's already been vetted by the Obama administration.

This nomination would, at the least, expose the republicans' rank obstructionism.
