Because elected officials will have their constituents breathing down their necks about Obama's choice. Because Obama's choices for other posts so far have been sub par. Anybody who just rolls over for Obama's choice in this matter will have that hung about their necks like a lead life preserver. I'm sure there will be some who wish to give payback for the Roberts and Alito hearings. It's not like anybody in DC has been working hard at building any bridges. Gleefully burning perhaps but certainly not building.<br /><br />By New Haven case I assume you mean the suit filed because firefighter test scores were thrown out because not enough black people passed the test? I would have a similar hope to yours. I'm not expecting Obama to choose anyone I would agree with on, well, anything but I hope he acquires enough political savvy not to step in it like that.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08521007829712936219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163899.post-2616779574586083242009-05-01T19:48:00.000-04:002009-05-01T19:48:00.000-04:00[quote]I think what is about to go down will make ...[quote]I think what is about to go down will make the Roberts and Alito confirmation processes look like slumber parties.
