White House Looking at Sandoval for Supreme Court

Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) is being vetted by the White House for a possible nomination to the Supreme Court, the Washington Post reports.

“Sandoval is increasingly viewed by some key Democrats as perhaps the only nominee President Obama could select who would be able to break a Republican blockade in the Senate.”

Jon Ralston: “Sandoval is very well qualified — former federal judge, attorney general, eminently capable. But can a pro-choice, tax-raising, Medicaid-expanding governor get through the U.S. Senate? Would be fun to see that spectacle, no?”
