SCOTUS

I see where people say that picking the replacement for Souter shouldn't be a political battle.

This is where my Bush yardstick works the other way. I'd fully expect that Bush would pick a hyper-conservative person for the job. Why should Obama not get the same expectation?

I think conservatives should feel lucky if he doesn't pick, say, Alan Alda, or Barbra Streisand.

Or even better - me!
