President Obama, just nominate yourself to the Supreme Court.

Why not? There had already been some speculation that Hillary Clinton might return the favor of being his Secretary of State and nominate Obama if she is elected president in November. But that would require a vacancy. The unexpected death yesterday of associate justice Antonin Scalia provides that opening. If Obama wants that job, he should seize it.

Talk by Republicans about leaving the seat empty until next year for Obama's successor is irresponsible in the extreme.
