Can Obama appoint himself? He is a major constitutional scholar with significant government experience

Interesting question. I doubt greatly that he would, and I'm not a lawyer, but I doubt it's something that has a clear legal precedent. Maybe the Supreme Court would have to rule on it.

Are these all old pictures of him? He definitely doesn't look as old as that. I didn't think lichs aged all that gracefully

Don't see anything in the constitution, without checking any amendments, so Scalia clearly would wanted it to happen as the founders didn't say it can't

quote:

the idea of nominating Srinivasan had run into some opposition from some Obama supporters because of Srinivasan's work in the U.S. Solicitor General's office during the Bush administration and because of union animosity to Srinivasan's corporate clients in private practice

Yeah, sound like someone Obama would appoint

This court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is �actually� innocent.

Obama should do what Jed Bartlet did in that episode of West Wing--nominate a conservative, get Ginsburg to retire, and nominate a liberal firebrand.

It is now even more important that either Hillary or Bernie win in November, because despite Hillary's shittiness I'd rather have her pick Scalia's replacement than loving Trump or Rubio.
