And here comes the normal SCOTUS cha cha cha... Nominate someone with a diverse liberal record, have that nomination shot down (after all, it’d be easy to get the votes to kill that candidate) and then plop in the one that the administration really wants and cry like a baby that it wouldn’t be fair for them not to complete the process on THIS nominee.

Bait and switch, like double standards, a true liberal value.

Easy to figure out the nominee.
A first. A first of anything.
The first of his/her Sex, Race, Orientation, Religion, Immigration status or whatever. this will trump any Republican opposition and they can cave with dignity.

I am thinking we may see the First Native American Transsexual, Homosexual, Muslim, illegal immigrant.

* Marx, Engels and Trotsky? *

Good one!

My guess for what the Convention song at the DNC will be if Bernie wins:

Marx, Engels and Trotsky

Anybody here seen my old friend Marx?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He enslaved a lot of people but it seems the good they die young
(especially when a Socialist leader orders their death)
You know I just looked around and he's gone

Anybody here seen my old friend Engels?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He enslaved a lot of people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

Anybody here seen my old friend Trotsky?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He enslaved a lot of people but it seems the bolsheviks die young
I just looked around and he's gone

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some agenda for you and me?
And we'll be in happy government servitude
Some day soon, it's gonna be one day

Anybody here seen my old friend Stalin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin’ up over the hill
With Marx, Engels and Trotsky
