I hope he nominates Sri or Watford, inasmuch as I believe there is not even a plausible argument for anything but bipartisan approval. Tom Goldstein from SCOTUSBlog (one of the nation's top legal commentators), however, anticipates that Loretta Lynch will be nominated. I think this would at least let the Republican block fall back on "well, she served under Obama, politically", which is not a *reasonable* argument but is one that the base will accept.
The best choice may be Kamala Harris but she could very well be our President in 2025 or 2029 and all indications are that she has no desire to join the SCOTUS.
Similarly, if Cory Booker isn't President some day, he could very well be on the Supreme Court. But now's too early.

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.
