President Obama has said he will push forward a nominee for deceased Justice Antonin Scalia “in due time,” and while some Republicans in Congress and on the presidential campaign trail see a delay on the horizon, legal minds are mulling the shortlist – which includes names like former Attorney General Eric Holder and current Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
Yahooo! Politics reported the list of names currently being bantered about includes “Sri Srinivasan, a U.S. Court of Appeals judge for the District of Columbia circuits; Merrick Garland, chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia circuit; Attorney General Loretta Lynch; Neal Katyal, a Georgetown law professor who spent one year as Obama’s acting solicitor general; Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson; Solicitor General Don Verrilli; and former Attorney General Eric Holder.”
The news outlet also reported Obama’s mentioned to friends Patrician Ann Millett, a U.S. Court of Appeals judge for the District of Columbia.

It will be Lynch. Gives the Dems an opportunity to beat of the GOP for being racists conducting a war on women.
I’m afraid you’re right.
Lynch is just Holder with lady parts.
comrade nero-bama has already gotten two of his chosen onto the court. There isn’t even a Constitutional requirement for the number of SCOTUS justices; therefore, Scalia doesn’t even have to be replaced (and he is pretty well irreplaceable). The Republicans had better damn well block any and all of dear comrade’s nominations.
“To keep her [Lynch] from having to do anything about Clinton, then don’t get another Attorney General appointed in time to do anything before the election.”
This is a great analysis. I totally get it. If Lynch is appointed to the Court, she is out of the Clinton issue altogether; no new attorney general will be appointed in time to do anything before the election.
Amazing.
He wouldn’t dare. I’d like to see him try it.
Would it be wise for the Senate Republicans to act on a nomination which has no chance of winning and could backfire on the ‘Rat Party?
Exactly!
