Srinivasan, Garland, Lynch, Katyal, Johnson, Verrilli, Holder, Wilson shortlist?

Holder and Lynch would be impossible, considering how lengthy Lynch's AG nomination was and Holder's Congressional contempt.

Verrilli would be good shout, Obama seems like tapping into Solicitor Generals for his SC appointments (Kagan).

Srinivasan has the highest chance of confirmation considering his good reputation among republicans.

At least we're not sending Ding Dong the Witch is Dead to the top of the charts like the Brits did after Thatcher died.

Pres. Obama will most likely have to nominate a moderate or conservative. A Republican Senate won't confirm a liberal.

That's to be expected, but that'd look bad on the Republicans wont it? Considering the fact that theres also an election that they're vying for.

No way will he bow down to the Senate and nominate a conservative.

He'll most likely nominate a moderate.

They wont have a choice. They will have to accept a liberal or risk getting the American public angry with their stalling or with the next President being Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton. They may be out of options. Their best best is for Obama to chose someone and maybe when Ruth goes they'll get to pick someone. Obama may feel pressure to nominate someone slightly moderate but if the next president is democrat then Republicans maybe screwed because they may be getting someone super liberal. Let's face it democrats won the popular vote 3 out of the last 4 elections. There is no Scalia to protect them from the outcome of the voters and vice versa if things go the other way around. It's best for both Obama and Republicans to pick someone now and make as little hay out of this as possible.
