Well Kagan and Sotomayor were supposedly brilliant women too...after listening to them during the Obamacare hearings...I didn't see it there either.

I'm guessing that to Liberal politicians and Obama specifically...brilliant woman = votes Democrat.

My prediction...Holder will take one spot...Kamala Brown will take the other.

That will allow Brown's brother in law Tony West to become the next AG.

And that...would be enough to make Justice drop her scales and weep.

NO WAY IN HELL, would any senate allow Holder to take a seat in the USSC.

If Dingy Harry retains his leadership position they will.

I really doubt his name would even be submitted. The republicans would filibuster on general principles

I don't have a problem with DUI checkpoints. They take 3 seconds out of your day and if you don't drink and drive, you're good and they're usually set up near drinking establishments hence the probable cause/reasonable suspicion. It's a safety issue that saves lives. As for the others, I don't believe them to be constitutional not to mention that I'm a believer that resources are better served elsewhere.

Holder, no. Hillary Clinton, yes. However, don't you need some kind of judicial experience to be on the SC? Actually, I just checked and Kegan has no experience on the bench which, IMO, makes her vastly under-qualified to sit on the highest court in the country. Holder, at least, has experience as a judge.

technically, no. just like you don't need any executive experience to be president.

Where does the Constitution permit the police to set up checkpoints? Can you imagine any of the Founding Fathers being OK with checkpoints other than in time of war?

It's in the same clause that authorizes national healthcare.

I agree that he would not get confirmed.

I'm not sure that Obama will keep him on as AG for a second term, should the President get re-elected. He shouldn't. Personally, I think he should pick a RINO or a more conservative democrat to be his AG, to instill a bit more trust among the public.
