This buries the lead. The real judicial war won’t be the nominee that replaces Scalia. It will be the nominee that replace Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg. Would be really funny if Trump nominated Merrick Garland to replace her.
- You don’t know how long Ginsberg will remain on the court.
- Kennedy is pretty old. He could leave first.
- In any event, we certainly should not welcome the elevation of any “liberal” to SCOTUS.
