White House Vetting GOP Gov. Sandoval for Possible SCOTUS Pick

[jimnyc]

Now this would be interesting. They've already drawn the line in the sand though...

-----

Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval, a Republican and former federal judge, is being considered by President Barack Obama for appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court, a source close to the process said on Wednesday, as Obama sought to overcome Senate Republican resistance to any nominee.

The source, who asked not to be identified, said Sandoval met on Monday in the U.S. Capitol with Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, at which time Reid asked the governor whether he would be interested in being considered for the high court job.

"He said he was interested," the source said of Sandoval, adding that "a number of people are being checked out" for the job.

An intense political fight has erupted since the Feb. 13 death of long-serving conservative Justice Antonin Scalia. Republicans are maneuvering to foil Obama's ability to choose a replacement who could tilt the court to the left for the first time in decades. The Republican-dominated Senate must confirm any high court nominee.

IT IS NOTHING BUT A TRICK FROM THE LIAR-IN-CHIEF. He is obviously playing politics by FIRST: Pretending he would nominate a Republican. And, when the Senate begins to take any action, other than keeping their word about NOT ACCEPTING ANY NOMINEE FROM OBAMA. Obama could submit another LIBERAL. Remember how the Senate treated Bush's female nominee????

Those who FORGET History are....DOOMED BY OBAMA to repeat it

Amen!

Didn't we have a case where (I can't remember her name) of a judge that was put in by a Republican President then went left field? Wasn't it Ginsberg or OConnor?

It was the guy Daddy Bush put in, Souter.

Personally, I think we need more checks and balances based on reality as far as the Supreme Court is concerned. Since Congress turned into a bunch of partisan hacks, there needs to be another way to remove a justice from the court. Our legal system is as nonsensical as Obama's mind.

The law is open to interpretation only for those who cannot read and comprehend English.
