Reuters reported Friday that President Barack Obama has selected three top candidates to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
According to Reuters, Obama is considering Paul Watford, Sri Srinivasan and Merrick Garland.
The Republican leadership in the Senate has already said it will not hold hearings on an Obama pick.

But of course, once Obama sends his nomination to Capitol Hill, the Repugnant controlled Senate will do their Constitutional duty and undertake the Advise and Consent process. . . .Oh, that’s right,the Constitution does not apply to them. That’s why they are Repugnant.
Hoping for Paul Watford
I thought the two women sounded good, and both had political aspects to their nominations that would have been pretty damning for the Republicans. I wonder how much of the narrowing has to do with what Cornyn and other Republicans have been saying about ruining the nominee’s reputation. Hopefully he picks the nominee soon and then the phase that will really damage the Republicans can begin.
He has quite a resume. And he was unanimously voted in 61-34.
61-34 doesn’t sound unanimous to me…
