Aye. Not a fan by any means and I'm disappointed that, out of such a good bunch, Obama chose one of the worst (though that might turn out to be a good thing - if the Senate was going to shoot down any nominee, then it will give Hillary the excuse to nominate someone like Jane Kelly instead), but I believe that the standard to reject a judicial appointment, especially for ideological reasons, should be very high.

Republicans have said that this is the best nominee they could possibly get from a Democratic president. Obviously no since I doubt he will work to remove Citizens United (Actual Progressive).

How is this any different to the right having a litmus on abortion?

A judge can't work to remove Citizens United, the Supreme Court doesn't work like this. As much as I hate Citizens people still need to understand how it works
