He's 92... but if he were younger, I'd love to see him on the Court.

They have a quorum of six, right? So they'll be okay for a while.

Also, CNN is reporting that Sri Srinivasan is a key/good option for Obama to appoint.

CNN says a Republican insider told them it's unlikely that a nominee will get through at all before Obama leaves office.

Omg... I'm honestly stunned beyond belief. May he RIP.

I don't know that President Obama can get anyone confirmed through this Senate. Maybe he could appoint a Senator or maybe Sandra Day O'Connor could be pulled out of retirement temporarily.

I would definitely sign on to Sandra Day O'Connor. I have a lot of respect for her judicial reasoning.

I'd dig it.
