I would oppose Napolitano. They guy is an idiot.
There is a very real risk of that, I think Obama is deciding if he wants to take one of two options...
Appoint a moderate and make the argument that the Republicans are being petulant children.
or
Appoint a radical leftist and let them go crazy while he energizes the left and helps HRC get elected president.
Boom
I read an article earlier today that was frankly funny, but just imagine this idea:
President Obama nominates himself to the Supreme Court, locking the Republicans in a Gordian Knot.
If they confirm him, they get rid of him as President, which is what they have wanted since he was first elected, but he gets a life appointment to the Supreme Court and tips the balance in favor of the liberals.
If they DON'T confirm him, he stays in office until the end of his term, constantly appointing nominees that the Senate will reject, fomenting Democratic anger and running the risk of people getting so fed up with the Republican stymie that come elections, Democrats take the Senate back.
At that point, President Obama still has 17 days of his Presidency left to ram-rod his appointment through the Senate now controlled by the Democrats.
Of course, the idea of President Obama appointing himself is really just funny, but wow, wouldn't it be interesting to watch?

I'm fairly certain Obama does not want the job.
He's said as much.
Well, you know... he lies.
If he wants to piss off the Republicans and energize the Clinton campaign... he should.
Then you're not fairly certain he doesn't want the job?

Well, Delay did have his election fraud conviction overturned by the appellate courts.
Works for me

Report his idiocy please! Or do you only have insults and accusations?
Fakahontas the liar? Typical Democrat.
To people like Jarod, anyone that doesn't bend over, grab their ankles, and take the Democrat one up the butt is an idiot.

appointing a leftist candidate may well backfire on the neo-commie Democrats.

What's a "moderate?" Who decides who's a moderate? Obama? You?
