McConnell and Grassley would have called Obama on Monday and agreed to confirm a candidate for the Supreme Court they believe is too liberal and one Obama would believe is too conservative.
But they are not. Republicans are wicked fucking stupid.
Obama should announce publicly that he will definitely make a recess appointment if the Republicans reject his candidate, forcing the Republicans to be obstructionist again. Almost everything in this situation favors Dems and has enormous downside potential for the GOP.
The best thing for the Republicans would be to take this thing off the table ASAPy-like and not risk giving the Dems and Dem candidates, especially Senate candidates, any leverage at all. But luckily for all of us, Republicans are dipshits and will give all the power to the Democrats in this thing. Will probably cost the Republicans the Senate, too. Good stuff.
