SCOTUS Nominee coming at 11 am this morning...I'm wondering how it will effect the primaries?

[Lucinda]

Hillary is on the record for wanting a liberal judge, am wondering about Obama's choice, and how that will play out in terms of the GOP worrying about his choice versus one Hillary (or Bernie) would appoint. It may play to Obama's advantage, depending on the nominee...guess we will know soon enough!

1. Use it as a club to get the Senate back

[Dawgs]

2. "Hillary is on the record for wanting a liberal judge"

[Lucinda]

3. So you really don't listen to what she says then eh?

You should.

[Dawgs]

4. She won't even call herself a liberal, so there's that.

[Lucinda]

6. I think she prefers "progressive" because of the RW denigration of the term

She is defining herself, not letting the RW do it. It's not all that complicated.

7. He's going with Merrick Garland.

A liberal Jewish judge from Chicago appointed by Bill Clinton.

[Lucinda]

9. I read a little about him the other day when the three names were floated

What do you think of him?

8. The timing is interesting. Waiting until just after this big voting day.
