(15,444 posts)of President Obama (a la Clinton in his second term) while remaining mum about the disaster the Republicans have been in the past three and a half years. They clearly want a repeat of 2000 - and they want to put another Bush in the WH. They've most likely been told - behind closed doors - that this is the plan by the "establishment Republicans, Wall Street, and Big Business".
Scalia and Kennedy are ripe for retirement, but they're going to hang in there by their nails until a Republican is seated in the WH. We also have too many vacancies on the DC Court of Appeals and Federal benches. The do-nothing Republican Senators are trying to block every one of President Obama's appointees for the courts until they can get that Republican in the WH.
We can't let this happen, and I believe we won't. There won't be a repeat of 2000. We don't need more Roberts or Scalitos in our SCOTUS.
