Also, Sri Srinivasan would add some diversity to the Supreme Court -- he is from India (moved to the US as a young child) so would be first Indian-American on the court. His law degree is not from Harvard or Yale -- which is probably a plus as well.

making it likely that the more principled Republicans in the Senate would break with the hardliners on the issue.

I'm not holding my breath on that, though...
