Well respected and liked across party lines and was confirmed unanimously for the SCOTUS Farm Team (DC Court of Appeals). Honestly, it is the best move Obama could make. One, it shows rising above the political ideology. Two, since he was confirmed unanimously before it makes it difficult for the Senate to go through and not confirm him.
The only issue is that someone like Sri will likely not be in favor of being an essential sacrificial lamb to party politics.
It'd would be the smart thing to do.
Personally, I would rather take 11 months of undecided SC cases and hopefully get another conservative on the bench because I think the 4-4-1 ideal is best.
I think you will get the most best results with 4 conservatives, 4 liberals and 1 independent type.
