I’ve made the argument that SCOTUS is too important to allow another Obama appointee. I get that.

I just don’t know if I believe it anymore. Is preventing Kagans and Sotomayors the goal or is getting Scalias and Thomases the goal?

If the answer is both, how can we accomplish that with RINOs? They will give us Kennedys in order to prevent Kagans and Sotomayors. Is that any better?

I will defer to the Rolling Stones on that one: “You cannot get all you want.”

In a perfect world obvisouly we would prefer to get Scalias and Thomases on the court. Right now, with Obola in the hut, there is not a chance in a quad trillion that will happen. If he made an appointment ala Kennedy (a Reagan appointee I believe), I would be very happy as he would get in. Meanwhile, if he appointed Sharpton or someone like that, with a GOP senate, I am reasonably sure he would not get confirmed. When things change and we get a 100% conservative in the WH, then there is a possible Scalia in our future with a GOP senate. Till then, only a pipe dream.
