Well…with all of the repubs in the senate promising obstruction to any nominee that Obama puts up for the supreme court, I think Obama needs to take those threats seriously and appoint a true progressive while the senate is in recess. This would not only really piss off the repubs but would get the court to a 5-4 liberal majority for the rest of his term…and, with the court docket having so many cases that could hurt women, unions, and really screw up this country if there was a conservative majority, Obama needs to do this right now. Then, when we win the presidency and the senate later in the year, we have the chance of making the progressive majority permanent…at least for a while anyway….get it done Obama….
