I could only recollect Sonia?

Both Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan are fairly moderate.

Not in the eyes of today's Republican Party...

Can't wait to see the candidates tonight try to outdo themselves in spouting nonsense about why Obama shouldn't be allowed to appoint.

Sri Srinivasan. Anyone else being rumored?

He can not appoint, he can nominate.

Never heard of Sonia being called moderate?

Leslie

At least they don't have a cattle gate so Ben Carson didn't get stuck again.

Kopel said he testified in the Senate confirmation hearings of justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Sotomayor, he said, “told the Senate that she considered Heller settled precedent”, but then voted against it “at the first opportunity”, when she joined the dissent in the 2010 McDonald v Chicago case, which clarified that the second amendment individual right established in the Heller case also applied to the states.

A nomination becomes an appointment when it's approved by the Senate. The Republicans can't stop Obama from nominating; they can try and stop approval of his nominee.
