“I guess we’ve already run out of AMERICAN nominees.”

Evidently. But TED CRUZ likes him and voted for him.
Srikanth Srinivasan, of Virginia, was nominated to the U.S. Circuit Court Judge for Washington D.C. in May 2013. The tally was 97-0, including votes U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
Cruz, who clerked with Srinivasan at the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, quipped, “I am hopeful that our friendship will not be seen as a strike against you by some.”
Well, AuntB, apparently They ALL voted for him. But that was for the job he has now, not for SCOTUS.
Of course Trump didn't vote for him, because he couldn't make that deal.
Here are the talking points:
1. The GOP has already approved of this guy.
2. If the Republicans oppose an Indian it is because they are RACISTS (That one point will have every Repub cowering---including and especially Cruz, because he's up for election and can't afford to alienate any voters, especially open-borders voters.)
There is your path to dude's confirmation by SUMMER. Book it.
IMHO there should be NO FOREIGN born SC justices or anything else in the USA. I hope Trump will jump on this. It's a JOKE we'd have a born INDIAN on our Supreme Court. More cultural suicide.
