As if Obama does not have enough to deal with, here comes a Supreme Court appointment! Suffice to say, the Repuglicans will freak out over whomever Obama picks, but it doesn't matter, since they are irrelevant.

More importantly, this is what the game is really about. It's highly realistic that Hopey will get 2-3 appointments in his first term. As a Constitutional Scholar, he is better positioned than any President I can think of, in history, to make wise choices here, choices that will live on long past his two terms in office (I'm optimistic no Republican can win in 2012).

Finally, how reassuring, for me, that Obama is in office. Imagine McCain making this pick, and the picks to come? End game.

But instead: Hope.
