After seven years of witnessing the extent to which Obama has been stymied by Republicans and Democrats alike, stimulus, healthcare, sequester, it takes a great deal of fluffiness to be so moistly sanguine about Obama's excellent 2016 Supreme Court adventure.
I actually do have confidence Obama can turn this into a victory of sorts, as much as Kagan and Sotomayor were Supreme Court victories, mostly because the Republicans are fucking hilariously inept, and Obama does have some political and legal leverage, especially in the recess appointment department. That said, there's no reason to fluff Obama up like some sort of superhero when the last seven years have shown he is anything but.
