No one expects a blogaround – Let’s get ready to rumble edition

Rumor has it that tomorrow President Barack Obama will make his nomination to fill the Supreme Court seat left by Justice Souter. And there is exactly a 100 percent chance that the GOP will fight the nomination with every tool in their box, even if the nominee is Jesus T. Christ.

For those of you looking to follow the news on the battle to get an SC nominee through Congress, head over to the Third Branch, an offshoot site of Crooks & Liars created by John Amato. We are quite close to a marathon new news cycle, and Third Branch will be a place to wade through the inevitable nonsense to be hurled at both the nominee and Obama.
