doin too much barry. this would be a brilliant pick if dude wasn't a republican-- i dont care how "moderate" he is.i also hate this as an opening move for a number of reasons. if he's not seriously being considered, why give republicans ammo to say "why not so and so"? Especially when so and so is Latino.
Why Brian Sandoval might be Obama’s best Supreme Court pick — and still wouldn’t get confirmed

So he is looking at nominating a guy who the Repubs would normally be quick to push through for what reason exactly? To show how hypocritical they are if they block Sandoval? What good does that do anyone considering we all know already that the GOP is full of obstinate asshats.
And what if they pull a swerve and usher Sandoval through with no problem? Then we get another conservative on the bench. All just to prove something in Obama's game of chicken with the GOP? fukk that shyt.
If Obama is going to nominate someone he should choose Jeh Johnson or Kamala Harris.

Has Sandoval changed his tune on gay marriage? Because I know he was on some "civil unions are OK" and let the state's decide shyt but I hadn't read he came around to being pro-gay marriage.Yeah me and a co-worker was talking about this earlier. Have to give Barry the

Kamala is running for senate
When Same-Sex marriage became legal nationwide, Gov Sandoval didn't show any objections towards it. I think he said the issue has finally been settled. I think any republican who said civil marriages are okay, probably supports gay marriage; but knows the consequences from the voter base. I would have to imagine with Nevada being a swing state ( Slight lean republican socially), he had to say that statement.
Graduated from University of Nevada - Reno. 
Went to Ohio State for law school.
Served as the attorney general of Nevada.
Served as a federal judge for four years.
Resigned from the federal bench to run for governor of Nevada.
I don't know. Even his appointment to the federal bench seems pretty damn unlikely if you think about his qualifications. I can't find anything about his law career in the ten years after he graduated law school, but before he got his first elected position.
Doesn't seem like much of an intellectual heavyweight. A small-time lawyer who worked his way up to the Nevada gaming commission and wormed his way onto the federal bench. No thanks.
