[QUOTE="donner, post: 2848110, member: 277"] This. I believe that NPR also said that 6 or 7 GOP senate seats are in battleground states this year, which could mean a higher than normal turnout. Seems like the surest way to not see Obama as a SC justice (at least for this seat) would be to confirm someone before he leaves office. The other issue is the political math that the GOP risks running afoul of. There are many candidates out there that sailed through senate confirmation for lower court positions (several that Rubio and Cruz voted for, IIRC). I think they (and the GOP) would be in a tough spot to deny a person it previously voted to overwhelmingly confirm, especially if the person is a minority. [/QUOTE]
