Interesting chain of speculation on the ND political board ...
whose derogatory nickname on their real board is "The Herd of Elephants".
Obama nominates Srinavasan. The GOP goes into hunker-down mode and doesn't allow a final vote. Maybe they hold the hearings; maybe they don't. Then the Democrats win back the Senate and the Presidency in November.
Does McConnell suddenly decide to hold the final vote on Srinavasan to hold off a potentially more-liberal nominee by the new President?
Does Harry Reid now start dragging his feet in hopes of getting a more-liberal nominee than Srinavasan after Jan 20?
