Right. They could've killed this easily and quietly, but instead they've managed to give Democrats a campaign issue.https://twitter.com/stevebenen/status/699218177826406400 …
@KevinMKruse Would make it harder to then confirm him in lame duck. If Hillary wins w/5 more Dems in Senate, they'll prefer SS @stevebenen

@emptywheel@stevebenen Hmm, that's an excellent point. But could Obama simply withdraw a pending SS nomination the day after HRC wins? -
@KevinMKruse I think that would be even more troubling historically than withdrawal of Guinier@stevebenen -
@emptywheel@stevebenen Excellent comparison. Politically, it'd be damaging, but possibly contained to Obama himself. -
@KevinMKruse@emptywheel@stevebenen This assumes Hillary (who has her own circle) would nominate SS. Withdrawal would damage his career. -
@Popehat Also piss off a key circuit judge who would review a LOT of Hillary decisions.@KevinMKruse@stevebenen
