    David Lat Retweeted Jordan Weissmann

    Two words: "Scalia replacement." He'd still shift #SCOTUS to left. Also, his great, bipartisan résumé. And Asian.https://twitter.com/JHWeissmann/status/708787041367150592 …

    @JosephPatrice And, frankly, rightly so. What is the liberal argument for Sri other than age?

        @DavidLat @JosephPatrice Yeah, that bipartisan resume isn't a plus for the left when Roe and affirmative action are threatened

        @JHWeissmann @JosephPatrice Again, he'd be better for the left than Scalia. Or any @realDonaldTrump #SCOTUS pick (like Sykes or Pryor).

        @DavidLat @JHWeissmann @JosephPatrice Hell, other than being Asian, that pretty much describes me too. I'm up for "Scalia replacement"

        @DavidLat The political argument is 97-0 vote. Dozens of Senators will be forced to oppose confirmation of someone they already voted for.

        Replying to @DavidLat

        @DavidLat @JHWeissmann @JosephPatrice exactly. W/ SCOTUS left/right is borderline irrelev. Vs. who is being replaced on Court.

        @DavidLat @atlblog @JHWeissmann @JosephPatrice You all seem to be making an overtly political argument. Good reason to postpone decision.
