I'm guessing to Republicans, the day after his election in 2012. So they're saying no president should nominate a justice when he's a lame duck. That means never to them. Also, too, when are we not in the midst of a presidential election? And, also, too, again, O'Connell said the people should have a say in who's nominated. Shouldn't the people who elected Obama (twice) have a say in who is nominated? Sheesh, these people truly are something.

And I argue that Clinton would be in a much better position to nominate a liberal rather than the moderate Obama is sure to nominate.
