Showing Original Post only (View all)The SCOTUS Nominee the GOP FEAR the most: Tino Cuellar [View all]
[font color="red" size="14"]The GOPs Worst Nightmare SCOTUS Nominee[/font]
Tino Cuellar. California Supreme Court Associate Justice. Mexican-American. Harvard. Yale. Stanford. How many Latino votes you think the GOPd get if they block him?

Heres a name you need to get to know: Tino Cuellar. Who is Tino Cuellar? The potential Supreme Court nominee who could tie the Republican Party in the most Gordian knots of any of them, and who could thereby alter the presidential race dramatically as well.
Yes, yes; Barack Obama should choose the person best qualified for the job with whom he is most intellectually comfortable. But should that person be Mariano Florentino Cuellar, there could be plenty of benefits aside from having a brilliant, young, Latino person on the Court.
Cuellar, 43, is an associate justice on Californias State Supreme Court. He was born in Mexico. He is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He grew up on the border, and his family moved to Californias Imperial Valley when he was a teenager. He was smart and decided he wanted an education. He got one, all right. Get this resume: undergrad, Harvard; law school, Yale; masters and doctoral degrees, Stanford.

I fully support whatever qualified progressive candidate causes the most GOP chaos.

Kamala Harris is running for Barbara Boxer's seat - and it appears she'll win it.

Yep. They're both strong Liberals and both YOUNG (Cuellar: 43 and Liu: 45).
