OBA should have saved the bullets for healthcare. She's not worth what it's going to cost.

Anybody he would have nominated would have come under fire for one reason or another. There is nobody he could have picked that wouldn't have been attacked by Republicans all over.
She'll get her grilling, of course, and she'll wind up on the court just fine. I think it's funny so far that everyone has these two comments that they're so worried about, but up to this point,
zero actual decisions from the bench that indicate that either of the comments is actually a problem.
So until someone is able to put together a substantive argument against her based on her extensive judicial history, it's all a bunch of throwing **** at the wall hoping something sticks, which is basically all that's been happening since January...and none of it has worked....and it's not going to start working now.
LOLZ to all of it.
EDIT: Really though, barring some REAL bombshell that actually matters, the only way she doesn't get confirmed is if in the course of the hearings, she shows her hand...and it's an anti-choice one from a Roe v. Wade perspective, and that's an issue that isn't totally clear from her past either. That's the only way the current makeup won't confirm her.
