1. Good question

When it's up to Hillary, I think she might go with another woman. Not trying to ruffle feathers but Ruth is no spring chicken and it'd be easier to get a woman on there when elected, rather than waiting.

I do not know which woman.

[Firebrand Gary]

5. Hmmm

I think she would chose someone who will best exemplify her jurisprudence, male or female. However, I do not think Hillary will back away from nominating a woman, just because she is. No way-no how.

Best to you metroins, have a great weekend!

6. You as well

I must work this weekend, if you're off, enjoy it for me.

2. I am not too worried about the lack of a nomination.

A SCOTUS nomination takes time even in the best of times. I remember one, Harriet Miers, which was pretty quick, and equally quickly cast away.

I prefer the more deliberative approach.

As the Zen Master wisely said, "We'll see."

4. God that clip is so good!

Almost thought I was watching the full film for a second. PBO will do the right thing, make the right choice at the right time. Great response longship-noted!

8. Mike Nichols' last film. Co-Produced by Tom Hanks.

This is one helluva film, and a truly great end to Mike Nichols' career.

Charlie Wilson's War is one of the best films ever. Remarkably, it is a true story.



And yup, that is Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Tom Hanks. And yup, Hoffman thoroughly chews the scenery. That's the only way one rises above Charlie Wilson, played by Hanks.

3. I think if Hillary keeps talking about appointing REALLY liberal judges, those

doofi just may get off their backsides and approve Obama's choice once he sends the name down.

And I don't know enough about all the people you listed to have a choice, but I'll happily kick this!

10. ACLU lawyers FTW!

7. B. Lynn Winmill, Senior Judge of the District Court of Idaho

Among his greatest hits: he was the first judge to strike down an ag-gag law, and he struck down an anti-Occupy ordinance. He also mandated grazing permits take into account sage grouse protection. President Clinton installed him onto the federal bench, and the wingers out here HATE the guy with a passion.

[Firebrand Gary]

11. What a great list of accomplishments!

This guy is a winner for sure! All of our handwork is going to pay off, fixing the judiciary is essential to lasting change. When I hear people complain that Potus has not done enough, .

These challenges that we face will take far more than one President to face. We're well on our way, we keep the executive branch for the next eight years, take back the senate and we will surely be on the road to political recovery.

Best to you, jmowreader!

9. Bill

[Firebrand Gary]

12. Lol, I would rather hear her talk about appointing Goodwin Liu.

He absolutely should be on the federal bench, what the GOP did to him and Caitlyn Halligan was beyond ridiculous. I'd like to both of their names back in the mix!
