Disqualifies him immediately. The President swears to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not "fight against" them in court.
Sorry, I thought the article said he was BORN IN INDIA!. My mistake.
Let the POS nominate away. The answer will be no, no, no.
No thanks. We'll pass.
Srinivasan appears to be a naturalized citizen, assuming he is a citizen.
They’re taking over all of the AMERICAN jobs in Silicon Valley. Might as well give ‘em the “Supreme Court” too. It’s just another part of Obonzo’s fundamentally deformed America.
You’re absolutely right, it’s complicated. There are even Christians with Arabic names like Mohammad, Ali, and Saeed.
But even a “John Smith” appointed by Obama will be a flaming lefty intent on undermining the Constitution with identity politics, we can count on it.
He was born in India.
“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.”
Not that the guy is a conservative, but he's a less reliable liberal than someone a new Democratic president might appoint, especially since there's a good chance a Democratic President would bring in a Democratic Senate.
So, don't dismiss the guy. Just drag it out until the lame duck period after the election. If Hillary or Bernie wins, then confirm the guy so they don't get to appoint their guy. And if the Republican wins, either vote him down or don't vote on him. Let the new GOP resident pick his guy.
In trying to pick a more moderate guy (at least on the surface) Obama may have given some Republicans a good strategic option.
We’re becoming the United Nations.
The Right to keep and bear arms, to defend you self, family, home, and community, does not go away because they say so because the Second Amendment did not GRANT the Right, it only demanded the Government not mess with it.
The Constitution would not have been ratified without the Bill of Rights, and any attempt to strip those rights becomes an effective dissolution of the original compact.
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.
What the hell? Can we, for Pete’s sake, put AMERICANS into these positions in the USA?
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.
This is a slap in the face to Americans. Should never happen.
We are in the late-Empire phase where we a ruled by a series of “Barbarian Emperors” from the provinces.
This is how Sen. McConnell will get Ted Cruz out of the race. He’ll play footsie with Obama’s nominee making confirmation looking likely. Cruz will then have to chose: allow Obama to have his life real nomiee, or come off the campaign trail to oppose him.
