My Hillary thread aside, but imagine if the world ended and Bernie lost and Trump got the choice instead of Obama.

I don't have to be if I don't want to! You can't make me!
Really, the Republican controlled Senate is already on record here. They ain't confirming nobody nohow. The best we can hope for is the recess appointment of someone who would be acceptable to either Hillary or Bernie. Then, when it comes time to make that justice a permanent appointment, the Republicans will be backed into a corner with their "let the people decide" bullshit.
