---TPThis afternoon, the Senate confirmed Sri Srinivasan to the <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/01/25/1496001/federal-appeals-court-invalidates-obamas-recess-appointments-to-nlrb/" rel="noopener" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: inherit; word-break: break-word; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(195, 171, 255); font-family: tk-aktiv-grotesk, aktiv-grotesk, sans-serif; font-size: 18.7501px;">staunchly</a> <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/10/17/1022531/how-george-w-bush-is-still-killing-environmental-protection-four-years-later/" rel="noopener" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: inherit; word-break: break-word; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(195, 171, 255); font-family: tk-aktiv-grotesk, aktiv-grotesk, sans-serif; font-size: 18.7501px;">conservative</a><a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/04/16/464731/two-federal-judges-suggest-all-labor-business-or-wall-street-regulation-is-unconstitutional/" rel="noopener" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: inherit; word-break: break-word; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(195, 171, 255); font-size: 18.7501px;">United States Court of Appeals</a> for the D.C. Circuit. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans already have a plan to <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/04/10/1848931/grassley-proposes-eliminating-3-seats-on-powerful-court-to-keep-obama-from-filling-them/" rel="noopener" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: inherit; word-break: break-word; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(195, 171, 255); font-size: 18.7501px;">prevent anyone else from being confirmed</a> to this powerful court while Obama is in the White House. Obama pulled this one confirmation off because the Srinivasan nomination was <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/04/08/1832141/why-an-obscure-lawyer-that-youve-probably-never-heard-of-is-the-most-important-story-in-dc/" rel="noopener" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: inherit; word-break: break-word; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(195, 171, 255); font-size: 18.7501px;">practically an act of trolling</a>. Srinivasan clerked for a Republican judge and a Republican justice. He is unquestionably one of the best Supreme Court advocates in the country. And his nomination <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/04/08/1832141/why-an-obscure-lawyer-that-youve-probably-never-heard-of-is-the-most-important-story-in-dc/" rel="noopener" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: inherit; word-break: break-word; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(195, 171, 255); font-size: 18.7501px;">enjoys the support of Republican legal stars</a> such as Paul Clement, Bush v. Gore attorney Ted Olson, and anti-Clinton inquisitor Ken Starr. Had Senate Republicans filibustered this nomination, it would have been difficult for them to deny allegations that they are acting in bad faith.
