I think President Obama screwed up with his SCOTUS nominee

17. Senate Republicans are in trouble. The very act of doing their job is considered a liberal thing

If they confirm anyone (Anyone), they will be painted as more liberal actions by the GOP in congress that won't do what GOP voters voted for them to do (block everything Obama wants.)

The RW media has painted the very act of governance a liberal thing. When they vote for a budget, they're being liberal. When they try to give disaster relief, they're being liberal. When they raise the debt ceiling, they're being liberal.

Their electorate has been taught the only conservative thing a conservative can do is block everything Obama wants and pass bills that will be vetoed. Anything else, and I mean anything is considered a liberal act.

Thus they now have the option of voting for a judge that is probably the best they could hope for and gaining the wrath of their electorate or doing nothing and looking like fools. They're already block their own budget in the house so blocking this nomination for no reason at all but to "look" good to people that are idiots isn't impossible.
