3. Obama lauding Scailia...

AT LEAST Obama is saying that a new nomination must go forward soon.

4. Well, I couldn't stand him either.

But Obama is doing his job in responding to his death in a respectful and generous way. The fact that he tripped over his words a couple of times, which he very seldom does, indicated to me, at least, that he was not comfortable making this eulogy. I also am glad that he made a point of stating the importance of going ahead with a new nomination. In effect, he was telling the Senate to do its job, as he was going to do his. It is up to all of us to raise holy hell if the Senate refuses to proceed on his choice of nominee.

7. Boy, sure could tell the president was pissed

just by looking at him, he was definitely holding back anger for the republicans politicizing this.

5. I know,

been celebrating all night and then almost recycled it.

6. The perfect revenge would be

for president Sanders or Clinton to nominate Barack Obama to the Supreme court.

He stated multiple times that he's not interested in the post.
