Nothing out of the Ninth Circuit will survive a congressional review for the Supreme Court. Take it to the bank.

Tom Goldstein / SCOTUSblog:
Ninth Circuit Judge Paul Watford is the most likely nominee to replace Antonin Scalia (superseded)  —  This post has been revised and superseded here.  —  In thinking about how to respond to the vacancy on the Supreme Court, the administration has two priorities.  First, fill the Scalia seat by getting a nominee confirmed.
Editor's notes:  Our Congress has replaced two liberal justices with two liberal Obama appointments.  Now,  with the death of Scalia,  we expect a conservative appointment.  The name of the game is this:  delay,  delay,  delay  per Democrat plans  in 2007.  When it comes to politics,  do unto others as they would to,  I always say. 


During a Sunday morning appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer decried the intent of many Senate Republicans to prevent President Barack Obama from appointing the successor to deceased Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
But less than a decade ago, Schumer advocated doing the same exact thing if any additional Supreme Court vacancies opened under former President George W. Bush.
