After seeing five ellipsis I was sure Winfield made this thread.
Actually, I think it is only one and two-thirds of an ellipsis.
I think it very much depends upon whom Obama might nominate, and how willing he is to reconsider if they start to make noises about stalling the approval process. I think y'all are being too hard on Obama, and upon the congress. My guess is that Obama is very intelligent, and in spite of his flaws, wants to solidify his legacy. His interests lie in working with the congress, and their interests lie in working with him. My guess is that Obama will appoint in such a way that it gets approved.
