Obama's former Harvard classmate Judge Kelly vetted to replace Supreme Court Justice Scalia but Republican Senate insist they won't accept ANY nominee until next election

    Judge Jane Kelly being considered for Supreme Court Justice nominee
    Obama's former classmate may replace Justice Scalia who died last month
    Kelly had cross party backing when she was nominated as appeals judge
    Obama will hope she can break nomination deadlock with Republicans 
    Republicans have refused to budge and 'will not' fill the vacancy this year
    Obama has constitutional authority to nominate a justice in an election year, but Republicans worry it will politicize the issue

The White House is vetting federal appellate Judge Jane Kelly for President Obama's potential U.S. Supreme Court justice nominee, a source has revealed.

Kelly, a graduate of the same Harvard Law School class as Barack Obama in 1991, is being tipped to replace Justice Antonin Scalia who died last month.

The FBI are currently carrying out background checks on the 51-year-old former public defender who serves as a judge on the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

I wonder if her memories of fellow student Barry are as few as those of his Occidental and Columbia classmates.

I'm sure she is a very fine judge.   May she stay on the bench she inhabits at this time for many years to come.
