President Barack Obama is considering appointing a moderate Republican to the Supreme Court, a source close to the process said on Wednesday, but leaders in the Republican-led Senate held firm to their threat to block anyone he nominates.
The source said Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval, a Republican and former federal judge, was among the possible candidates.

Right off hand this guy looks about as decent a nominee as you could ever expect from The Obamanation of Desolation
What he’s doing is trying to taunt them into taking any kind of action on this guy, withdrawing him, and then putting up a liberal black or woman so he can accuse Republicans of racism and/or sexism.
Bait and switch; oldest trick in the book.
Shouldn't he be spending the remainder of his lame duck term measuring Hillary for Prison Garb?
Best of both worlds for Obama, he gets his nomination, replaces a conservative with a progressive and someone his party can blame when 5 to 4 decisions don’t go their way.
This is just another attempt to play three-card Monte with the Resistance. Any obama nominee will turn hard left once confirmed.
Yeah, another Trojan Horse Republican like John Roberts. No doubt it’d be a win-win for the Uni-party and the stupid sheeple that lap it up. Damn them all to hell.
Donald Trump just can’t get here fast enough...
Every left-wing media site in the world with the incessant drum beat about who Obama may be considering for the supreme court is spewing pure propaganda since the senate is not going to act on an obama nominee no matter who it is.
This is a decision for the American people to make and it’s good to see that republicans will stand firm and respect this crucial exercise in pure democracy.
I did not say I approved of the guy.
I agree with thee comments.
Just that that I expected even worse (See: Sonia Maria Sotomayor)
It’s a trap.
I was just watching Greta. Apparently he is pro-choice and pro gay marriage, but anti-Obamacare.
Harry Reid loves him.
I’ll wait for 2016.
At this point, “Republican” is a useless descriptor.
2017
You could be describing Trump. Ok..not so much anti-Obamacare.
Scalia is the originalist Hispanic seat. You want consideration, pick a stalwart originalist.
Ah, but we are not allowed a look into the blackmail file.
0dunga wasted no time in getting the NSA to dig up dirt on Sandoval.
If he is pro-choice and pro gay marriage but is against obamacare that means he is in favor of single payer instead.
Look at a calendar. It is 2016.
That’s my guess, too.
