Uncle Thomas must be so lost now
You don't win in life without taking chances. Hillary isn't a shoe-in and can absolutely lose the general election too.
Basing your political moves out of fear of your political adversaries is some buster ass shyt.
That's what I'm saying. We tried y'all way for too long. Time for something new.
That's Ivy League. They ain't taking anyone they don't want and they're clearly the top 0.01% of any race.
These are all minor in my opinion...at least comparatively to the amount of legislation/legal issues that SHOULD be fixed...he was a tool used by republicans and corporate entities hand selected by Reagan himself. Nothing was influential about scalia...oconnor influential , marshall influential, Scalia not so much.

He's appointed two women (white and Hispanic)... I'd love him to appoint a black woman and complete the cipher...
Taft 2.0It would be pure fukkkery if Obama appointed himself
If those are all minor accomplishments "in your opinion," then
Thurgood Marshall's biggest legal accomplishments were as a lawyer, not a supreme court justice. As a justice, Scalia is far more influential. O'Connor has a couple of major opinions (Casey and Grutter), but Scalia's catalog is far more impressive. He wrote opinions that will be part of the law school canon for generations.

It is interesting how so many people in this thread want Obama to nominate a justice based on their race, gender, ethnicity, etc and not qualifications.
All liberals care about is identity politics.

The sudden death of Justice Scalia creates an immediate vacancy on the most important court in the United States.
Senator McConnell is right that the American people should have a voice in the selection of the next Supreme Court justice. In fact, they did — when President Obama won the 2012 election by five million votes.
Article II Section 2 of the Constitution says the President of the United States nominates justices to the Supreme Court, with the advice and consent of the Senate. I can't find a clause that says "...except when there's a year left in the term of a Democratic President."
Senate Republicans took an oath just like Senate Democrats did. Abandoning the duties they swore to uphold would threaten both the Constitution and our democracy itself. It would also prove that all the Republican talk about loving the Constitution is just that — empty talk.
