Obama Getting Closer to SCOTUS Nomination

The news story:

President Barack Obama has interviewed federal appeals court judge Diane Wood for the Supreme Court, one of the face-to-face meetings he’s holding with finalists, officials said Wednesday. The move signals Obama is getting closer to one of the most far-reaching decisions of his presidency.

Wood, who serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago, is among a small number of people being seriously considered for the high court.

I’m going to try to work myself up over this, I guess…actually, its rather difficult. All we’re doing is replacing one unthinking, knee-jerk “love me, please, elites!” liberal Justice with his ideological duplicate. Now, if a conservative Justice were being replaced, that would be another story…but we’re just keeping the 4.7 to 4.3 split in the Court. Its a big yawn for me.
