Speaking on NPR (via the Wichita Eagle):

“She had no record. And the record that was available was in the White House and that was not going to be provided to us. It was the sort of thing, she was caught between where she serves and where the president had nominated her to serve.

“The Senate was just not willing to give its advice and consent blindly on a position of such importance to the future of the country.

“This was a nominee that was put forward that the president knew very well, but the rest of the country did not. This is going to be arguably the swing vote on the Supreme Court.”

Will the President nominate someone who’s views are known? He can’t do that and appease the conservatives. My guess? I think there will be some back room deals before the next nominee is announced that will assure conservative Senators of the new nominee’s bonafides while still keeping them veiled to the general public. The white house would love to be able to pull another “John Roberts” and have the nominee cruise through.

Or we’ll have a knock down, drag out, bloody, nuclear confirmation battle for the future of our country.

I suspect we’ll see some movement soon on picking a new nominee. The administration needs to divert attention from its corrupt and treasonous members.
