Here we go.
The rubber is about to hit the SCOTUS road with an Obama imprint on the nation's highest court. Although I'd love to see one of the conservative judges head for home, at the very least, an Obama nominee will give the far right a peek at just what lies around the bend.
I'm just not certain how much more the Right can take. Ain't it great?
Obama said he would seek a nominee with a "sharp and independent mind and a record of excellence and integrity. I will seek someone who understands justice isn't about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a case book. It is also about how our laws affect the daily realities of people's lives." He said his nominee would be one who is "dedicated to the rule of law, who honors our constitutional traditions, who respects the integrity of the judicial process and the appropriate limits of the judicial role."
With Obama, it's like someone throwing up the sash of a window hidden deep inside in a rotting dank house and with that first beam of sunlight, suddenly the possibilities outweigh the immensity of digging through the decay.
Let the sun shine over at the Washington Post.
