No. You're assuming that the President really does think he's nominating a constitutionalist. Given that assumption, you're right that my scenario wouldn't add up. Given that assumption...
(remember, by the way, that this is the same President who had no problem at all teaming up with Teddaquiddick in passing the "No Child Left Behind" Act - he's a uniter, you know)
No, no, no, don't change the subject. We're talking about Harry Reid. Stick with Harry Reid. Why is his endorsement a problem?
