Despite controversy among Congressional Republicans, reports indicate President Barack Obama may name a nominee as early as next week to replace Justice Antonin Scalia, who died Feb. 13. Reuters’ predictions include Merrick Garland, Sri Srinivasan and Paul Watford as the contenders in the search. Srinivasan has been the most popular candidate for his moderate positions that Republicans may be most likely to approve. If nominated, he would be the first Asian-American appointed to the high court.
