Email from President Obama: "I've Made My Decision" *Supreme Court Nominee*

[Firebrand Gary]

Source: Whitehouse.gov

Today, I will announce the person whom I believe is eminently qualified to sit on the Supreme Court.

As President, it is both my constitutional duty to nominate a Justice and one of the most important decisions that I -- or any president -- will make.

I've devoted a considerable amount of time and deliberation to this decision. I've consulted with legal experts and people across the political spectrum, both inside and outside government. And we’ve reached out to every member of the Senate, who each have a responsibility to do their job and take this nomination just as seriously.

Please join me in the Rose Garden at 11:00am Eastern for my announcement.

1. Excellent

7. I am not optimistic...

because of Obama's tendencies to cave in to Republicans. He needs to take a stand or we will get an judge that may be conservative leaning.

2. He should nominate Trump

just to see the Repub congress drill him during hearings and block him

5. This should be interesting. How is the GOP going to handle it?

It's like the devil you know vs. the devil you don't know and apparently some of these judges were confirmed by unanimous decision to other positions. Since it now appears the general election will be Trump and Clinton, they have to consider what 3 or 4 Hillary Clinton SCOTUS nominees might look like.

6. Nothing fazes this man, and I love it.

We will see just who the real men in the room are.
