If you wanted a liberal fighter on the court, Pam Karlan was the only way to go |

1. The last thing this administration wants is a liberal fighter. |
|
(Besides, Karlan has a bad case of Teh Gay. The Republicans might object to her, and we can't have that, now can we?)

2. Frpn whaqt I understand, the ideal nominee will not be a fighter, but |
|
someone who can convince some of the other justices that she's correct and get them to move to her point of view. A fighter only creates stronger division.

5. The nominee will be someone that republicans approve of which is the point. Obama is still |
|
more worried about republicans than he is of actually changing anything. Karlan would be perfect.

8. She's not an originalist.... |
|
That tends to upset the folks who think maintaining the disorganized militia, replete with military grade hardware (or more, for the anti-Miller crowd), is a right, though I haven't yet found anything specific from her on the topic.
I'll look some more.

10. The Chicago gun ban ruling should be by June |

We'll see how that goes and where she stands.

Our first GLBTQ Supreme would have been one hell of a fight, but worth it.
