Brilliant legal mind -- if you're of the constructionist / libertarian persuasion. That's a huge shift on the Court ...

Huge shift if Obama gets to name his replacement. That's not a given in today's political climate, and he's already been slapped by the Court for taking it upon himself to decide when the Senate is in recess - so no recess appointment. Gonna add a twist to this year's presidential election.

A Republican Congress would never approve any Obama appointee -- this seat will be vacant until the next President.

It will be interesting to see. Sri Srinivasan was approved to a lower court not too long ago and has been talked about for the vacancy....it would be interesting to see one approved unanimously, then not.
