I guarantee that argument gets broached by some of the Republicans who voted to confirm him to the D.C. court if Obama nominates him for SCOTUS.

I don't doubt that argument will get trotted out, but I think it's too nuanced to fly with the public. Plus, if they start saying it's about qualifications, then they're no longer claiming Obama should wait, putting them in a bind when he nominates someone who is clearly qualified.
