2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Will Kamala Harris be the next Supreme Court Justice? [View all]
It's almost certain Obama will have to replace another justice in his second term (my guess is he replaces two - Ruth Bader Ginsburg and either Stephen Breyer or Anthony Kennedy ... maybe both), and the name floated around is Kamala Harris, the AG in California. If nominated, it would be historic since it would mean Obama's three nominations have all been women and if, somehow, Kennedy or Breyer or whomever, step down, or die, before Ginsburg, it would mean there is the possibility of four women on the court - nearly half the court.
Who do you think Obama should keep in his Supreme Court binder? I'm guessing he already has his candidates, but who'd you pick?

Yeah, but getting a 42 year old on the Supreme Court would be a massive FU to the GOP

I hope he won't pick her, even though she'd be great. We want to keep her here in CA!

My guess is that after appointing two women he will appoint a man--maybe the first Asian Justice?

If Obama appoints three more justices, that would be a total of five...
