Obama asked one question in meeting with McConnell and Grassley @ Scalia replacement [View all]

"Who do you have in mind?"

And left them speechless.

President Obama had a sit-down with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Judiciary Committee Charles Grassley in the Oval Office on Tuesday, and as you might be able to guess, that meeting went absolutely nowhere. From all accounts of those familiar with the meeting, it was practically a staring contest between an old married couple who had fallen out of love with each other (but, in this case, there never was any). Sorry for the bad visual, if we gave you one.

Even though nothing ended up being accomplished by having the face to face chat in Obama’s office, the president tried his best to get Republicans to “do their job” of helping him pick Justice Scalia’s replacement when he asked the GOP’s top brass if they had any recommendations. By asking them this one simple question: “Who do you have in mind?” the Republicans went speechless. They didn’t have any. They couldn’t produce one single name. And – it’s sad.
