Padmanabhan Srikanth Srinivasan
Barack Hussein Obama II: I plan to fulfill my constitutional responsibility to nominate a successor in due time. There will be plenty of time for me to do so and for the Senate to fulfill its responsibility to give that person a full hearing and timely vote.
Joseph Jervis: Some analysts are saying that the likely nominee will be federal Judge Sri Srinivasan, whose nomination to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was approved by the Senate by a 97-0 vote in April 2013.
Irving L. Gornstein: [Padmanabhan Srikanth Srinivasan] is attracted to persuasive arguments, regardless of their source. I thought, "Supreme Court justice."
Barack Hussein Obama II: Sri is a trailblazer WHO Personifies the Best of America.
Walter Estes Dellinger III: The first time Srinivasan argued a case before the high court, he took a single sheet of paper to the podium so he would not appear overconfident. The paper was blank.
ALEXI MCCAMMOND: Padmanabhan Srikanth Srinivasan proved his qualifications as a lawyer when he argued for Same-Sex Marriage in front of the Supreme Court in 2013. This was a big win for Srinivasan that showed others he could be fit to serve on the Court, and, now, People are looking to him as a possible replacement for Justice Scalia.
Srinivasan was the first Asian American and Indian American to serve of the Court of Appeals in the D.C. circuit. Srinivasan, with experience on the D.C. Circuit and a strong background in litigation, could possibly [some may argue probably] end up as Scalia’s replacement.
Bradley W. Joondeph: He is not, really, ideologically driven. [Padmanabhan Srikanth Srinivasan] is ~ sincerely ~ devoted to the Craft.
John Yang: You could say that he’s hard to categorize, but that’s an unfair statement. I think, it’s that he’s a Straight Shooter and [Padmanabhan Srikanth Srinivasan] calls it like he sees it.
Adam Serwer: Srinivasan’s background is as a litigator, meaning he’s spent most of his career defending other people’s positions rather than his own. That means that, although he’s well regarded among legal elites of all stripes, his own views are less than clear. It also means that liberals can’t be sure that Srinivasan actually shares their views.
