Obama Pushes Hard for Chandigarh-Born Judge

"It's not. It's about the institutional interest that both parties have in allowing presidents to staff the government and judiciary with well-qualified nominees of their choice, a norm that senators of both parties have eroded, we hope not irreparably," it said.
The Huffington Post, meanwhile, reported that some unnamed "legal analysts" are floating Srinivasan "as a potential frontrunner for the next Supreme Court opening."
New Yorker's Jeffrey Toobin, suggested Srinivasan's Senate hearing will serve as a "dress rehearsal" for a future Supreme Court confirmation battle:
"The stakes in this nomination are clear: if Srinivasan passes this test and wins confirmation, he'll be on the Supreme Court before President Obama's term ends," he said.
Ami Bera, the sole Indian-American member of the House of Representatives, also came out in support of Obama's nominee saying "Sri Srinivasan would be an outstanding court of appeals judge."
"He is widely regarded as one of the best legal minds in the country. His integrity, wealth of experience, and education make him extremely well equipped to serve as a judge on the DC Circuit, one of our country's most important courts," he said.
"His appointment would make history and be a proud moment for the Indian American and broader Asian American communities," Bera said.
