I'm no politician but if I was in President Obama's position, I would salivate at the thought of ripping the Republicans apart if they rejected a guy they already approved unanimously for a position just one level down from supreme court justice. He might not be able to stop them but he can sure as hell cost them a LOT of political capital. How are they going justify it to the American people? There is no justification. He should be able to tear them apart over their obstructionism.

"Obama isn't even Ameeeeeeerican, why should he get to choose?"
"Do you really want a socialist picking the next Supreme Court judge in our demoooocracy?"
"Those stoopid voters gave a Muslim 8 years in the Oval Office, let us choose the next judge!"

These are the really difficult choices in life.
