They shouldn’t “play by the rules”. Obama must at least be forced to pick a ‘moderate’. No Gingsberg’s their views disqualify them.
I'd be surprised if there were any intended resignations announced very soon. Justices almost always make such moves after the term of the Court is up, in July. Besides, the libs that would want to retire know that Barry's up to his ass in alligators right now, they'd rather see him enact his socialist legislation before having to deal with a SCOTUS nominee sideshow.
Perhaps by July or August, he will not have been able to deliver as much pie as is needed to keep his base 100% happy with him. We know how to play games better than they do, even while in the minority.
