“I’ll back out of the Susan Rice nomination on condition that you immediately move all my judicial nominees through committee and onto the floor for votes. All of them, the whole four years of backlog.

“Give me that, and okay Susan can stay at the UN and I’ll put Kerry in State.

“Deal?”

(otherwise… I’d been pretty neutral about Susan Rice, but now all this bullshit from the Three Amigos makes me think he should hardball it through, otherwise he’d be rewarding petty intransigence.)

Has Obama even officially mentioned Rice as a candidate to replace Clinton as SoS? I have the impression that this is part of the whole Mt Everest sized molehill constructed by the Party of Obama Obstruction.
