It would be so much better if it had been uber liberal, ACLU lawyer and Director Ruth Ginsberg, or wishy-washy Anthony Kennedy. Justice Kennedy is much more admirable and amenable relative to his more liberal than conservative votes over the years, as his liberalism is grounded more in libertarianism than in outright socialism, as is the case with Ginsberg.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley have said that they will do all they can to block another ultra liberal Obama appointee, and rightfully so.
Current Senators and Presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have pledged to do their part in making sure that we don't get another Sotomayor or Kagan.
With his penchant for putting forth lunatic, left wing lady lawyers, Obama could nominate the likes of Hitlary or my home state's socialistic ex-senator, Kay Hagan..
Of course, Kagan and Hagan could get confusing. But confusion is sort of the standard in DC.
Fortunately, King Barry can't just willy nilly appoint whomever he wishes with the stroke of his royal writing instrument.
Consent of the Senate is necessary, thank goodness. And the make-up of the Senate is far different than it was during the times of Sotomayor's and Kagan's confirmations, thank goodness, again.
One of the most important and far reaching decisions a President can make is his or her Supreme Court appointees. One of the most important and far reaching decisions that the Senate can make is their confirmation of competent Judges and Justices. That is why Mitch McConnell, Chuck Grassley and the rest of the Senate Republicans/Repulsicans/ Rebooblicans stand strong against any more Obama nominees like Sotomayor and Kagan, who were confirmed by a Dummycrap/Demoncat controlled Senate. It is also important that McConnell be very careful about recessing the Senate, so as to not give Obama an opportunity to make a recess appointment. And it is why We The People elect principled Constitutional conservatives to the Senate and the White House this November. Here in North Carolina, we have two such Senate candidates to replace incumbent Richard Burr.
I used to love Sen. Burr and was one of his most stalwart supporters. That was back when he still exhibited some non-politician type of common sense conservatism, as in his support and co-sponsorship of The Fair Tax Act. Now, he French kisses the hairy, hemmorhoidal hiney holes of Mitch McConnell and other Senate leaders, in hopes of joining that lackey leadership. His current proudest claim is his descending from the disgraced Vice-President, Aaron Burr. After some more research and investigation, I shall be prompting my fellow North Carolinians to support Dr. Greg Brannon or businessman Larry Holmquist.
Despite several candidates compatibility quizzes that I've taken lately, which all say that I am more closely aligned with other candidates, I still champion Dr. Ben Carson for President, based on his non-politician past and his human decency and dedication to a cause greater than and other than himself. And I still want a President with some facial hair...unless it's a woman, of course. 
If Obama would like to continue his trek of appointing women to the High Court, a stance, in and of itself, with which I have no problem, I have a suggestion for him. Not only would this woman become the fourth female on the supreme bench, bringing it even closer to the always Dummycrap desired ideology of apportioned diversity, relative to gender, it would also add a second American Negroid to the bench. Besides his penchant of appointing women, Obama has shown his wish to appoint members of other 'minoruty' demographics, as both of his female appointees fit that formula. Kagan is Jewish, though as one of such heritage and heredity, though not practice, I wouldn't call her a good Jewess. Sotomayor is Hispanic Mullatoid.
I urge Obama and/or his successor to appoint a jurist who has long shown her dedication to Constitutionality and its rule of law, particularly regarding issues like affirmative action and first amendment rights. She is well educated in the law, receiving her J.D. from UCLA and her L.L.M. from UVA, so that she is not just another Ivy League pinhead. She is well experienced and qualified as a past associate justice of the California Supreme Court and a presently presiding, tenured Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. Over the course of her career, she has been opposed by such organizations as the NAACP, NOW, The Feminist Majority Foundation, People for the American Way, and the National Council of Jewish Women, who probably doesn't have a single Israel supporting Jewess among them. When opposed by people like those, it's a good indication that this woman should be supported by We The People to be placed on the United States Supreme Court.
Her name is Janice Rogers Brown.
And she's pretty, too, unlike the Three Dog Night bowsers who are there now.
To make things even more lopsided, the governors, the senators and the mister were never above interrupting or interjecting, which Dr. Carson is too much of a gentleman to do. 
Though he is about to turn 80, as long as he is alive and apparently healthy, I shall always promote Dr. Walter E. Williams to be the Secretary of the Treasury. He is a renown and respected Constitutional conservative columnist, commentator and author. Dr, Williams has been George Mason University's John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics for thirty-five years and served as Economics Department Chairman for six years. In the field of Economics, there is not a more intelligent and insightful, brighter or more brilliant human being alive. And there is not an American alive whom I would trust more to stand fifth in line to the Presidency. 
Once again, I promote my home state's Secretary of Agriculture, Steve Troxler to be Federal Secretary of Agriculture. Steve is a multi-generational family farmer who has held his Council of State position for the past decade. He is a past president of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture and the Southern Association of State Departments of Agriculture. He chaired NASDA's Food Regulation and Nutrition Committee, and was awarded last year by the organization for his commitment to food safety. Like many of my proposed Secretaries, he will be tasked to downsize and debureaucratize the department, so that his position will become an Under Secretary within the Commerce Department.
Though much of, including his most recent public service has been in the area of education, I once again put forth Texan Michael Williams to be the Secretary of Energy. He was the first of his race to be elected to statewide executive office in Texas. He served for over a decade on the Railroad Commission, half of that as Chairman. Despite its name, the Commission is concerned with the regulation of the oil and natural gas industries in the state. In that capacity, he represented Texas on the Southern States Energy Board and acted as 'point person' for regulatory reform and technology modernization. Mr. Williams also chaired the Governor's Clean Coal Technology Council and FutureGen Texas, his state's part of the national project promoting the development and operation of emissions free power plants. Like many of my proposed Cabinet members. Mr. Williams will be downsizing and debureaucratizing the department to divisional status within the Commerce Department.
Veterans' Affairs is one of the very most important functions of Federal governance. But it does not need the over bureaucratization of being a separate Cabinet department. It needs dedicated and devoted personnel from the top down. With that thought, I suggest Rear Admiral Sylvia Trent-Adams, PhD, RN, FAAN, the current Chief Nurse Officer and Deputy Surgeon General to be Secretary of Veterans Affairs/Under Secretary of Defense for Veterans' Affairs. Regardless of her political party affiliation, she has the clinical and administrative experience and acumen to be an excellent one.
I don't expect or promote a return to the Cabinet's original size. The realities and responsibilities of Federal governance in the 21st century world doesn't allow for such. However, it does need to be such that it can be easily accountable and readily recognizable. 
The EPA should be a part of the Department of Science and Medicine, with its Administrator being Under Secretary for Environmental Issues. That person should not be George Pataki, as I tongue-in-cheek suggested in an earlier article. It should be David Deming, PhD, tenured professor of geology and geophysics. Dr. Deming is widely renowned for his controversial spoken and written views in academia, based on common sense scientific methodology in areas of study, such as energy, sustainability and climate change. 
The Director of The Office of Management and Budget should obviously be an Under Secretary of the Treasury and should do some actual accounting and auditing, rather than just advising about the practices. I recommend my old high school buddy, John P. Matthews, Certified Internal Auditor..
Do we really need a U.S. Trade Representative? Isn't that the work of already existing, legitimate Cabinet officers, like Secretaries of State, Treasury and Commerce?
Aren't such people as the Secretaries of the Treasury and Commerce and maybe the Treasurer of the United States supposed to be fulfilling this function? This is just another epitome example of overblown bureaucracy and unaccountability and should be eliminated from the Federal payroll. What are we paying the elected Executives and Legislators to do?
Again, another important job, but again, not deserving of independent Cabinet level status. Its Administrator should be another Under Secretary within Commerce. That person should be Californian Tom Del Baccaro, the senior partner in his law firm, specializing in assisting business start-ups.
The U.S. Mission to the United Nations is part of the State Department. One of the most important parts. I would say therefore that our U.N. Ambassador remain as part of the non-succession Cabinet and a member of the Security Cabinet, as well as our one vote on the U.N.'s Security Council. Until Bobby Jindal reorganizes HHS into DSM, predicating his move to this position, I would recommend a man of vast knowledge of human history and conservative, common sense understanding of world events to be appointed to this vital advisory role:former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an existing agency that is not part of any Executive department, reporting directly to The White House. Because of its unique nature, I think that it should probably remain so, with its Administrator having Cabinet level status and being part of the Security Cabinet. I haven't found anyone yet worthy of appointment, but I vehemently declare that the agency's top two officials, both recently appointed by Obama, need to be replaced, so that NASA can return to its original and vital mission of space exploration and exploitation, abandoning its present primary purpose, as proscribed by Baracka, to be an outreach program to world Muslims, to make them feel good about themselves and their contributions to science and mathematics.
Just prior to the Hawkeye Cauci, Ted Cruz's people were spreading the falsehood of Dr. Carson's intention to withdraw from the race. For that, Ted Cruz does owe Ben Carson more than his already issued meaningless apology. Rush says that he should give Dr. Carson up to three Iowan delegates. I'd say at least three, all the way up to all eight awarded to him, to make up not only for delegates that switched to him, but also perhaps to other candidates. Such action would be an honest gesture to make up for the dishonesty. Cruz is stating that his people only spread the news as it was accurately reported by CNN. The truth is that they shared only part of the report, omitting the most important point, that though Dr. Carson was not heading to New Hampshire or South Carolina right away, if at all, he was NOT dropping ot of the race. And a half truth is not truth.
The Columbia Broadcasting System aired their version of the best Super Bowl commercials ever special last night. Unlike many, if not most of similar productions of the past, this one was actually entertaining and enjoyable throughout. This time, with just a couple of exceptions, they actually showed good commercials. I could have surely done without that DISGUSTING puking baby from E
IS the king of Super Bowl commercials. Cedric the Entertainer giving his date a beer bath is a hoot. 
Pepsi, my lifelong choice of soda was well represented. The Cindy Crawford spot, the Pepsi and Coke vendors in the diner together, and the Coke vendor spilling all the Pepsi cans to the floor in the convenience store. That one still makes me laugh out loud. 
Coca Cola's iconic commercial with Pittsburgh Steeler 'Mean' Joe Greene and the kid was high on the list and rightfully so. In a wonderfully warm segment, CBS reunited Greene and Tommy Okon for a very poignant and uplifting interviewing.
I wouldn't have placed it that high, but it is one of very few automobile ads that I've ever seen that didn't make me want to turn the channel. But I will admit that I am looking forward to the one this Sunday for the new Buick convertible, as I am all of them, as long as that gross puking baby and those idiotic whaaaasup guys aren't among them.
