Are you arguing that we should take India as our example?

It looks like he's going to wimp out. That's just a case of weak leadership. He should have nine choices already made and vetted. 
Why? What's the rush?
Just today Senator Grassley said: http://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/key-repu...at-a-time/ Quote:The Republican head of the Senate panel that weighs U.S. Supreme Court nominations said on Tuesday he will wait until President Barack Obama names his pick to fill the vacancy left by Justice Antonin Scalia’s death before deciding whether to hold confirmation hearings.

After this election the Senate could go blue and Sanders could be president. If that happens, they'll wish they had affirmed the moderate they were offered when they had the chance. Obama doesn't have the balls to nominate a black person.

I don't think we should pass up a perfectly good candidate simply because his nation of birth would do so with someone born here.

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. Lol wut

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

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

You'll have to excuse WOG, he's a sincere racist and anti-Semite.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

The narcissism of our species is our worst enemy. Here was a man who still died regardless of his religion. Still died regardless of his title. Every Christian, every Muslim, every Jew, every Buddhist, every Hindu every atheist, all die in the end. So all that belief and bluster clinging to an old book of myth didn't prevent him from dying.
