As far as the 2A I believe we could do far worse. Not getting personally political here as far as what I believe is "right" but I think the administration is very concerned about getting a nominee through quickly and with a minimum of poltical bloodshed. Just looking at the trends the Administration knows their side is in for a tripto the woodshed in November. They have specific agenda items they want pushed through, notably immigration reform, before that happens and it becomes impossible. SCOTUS confirmations suck te wind out of everything and slow down all legislative business. If Obama nominated a hard leftist you would see a bloody fight which would likely kill any possibility of moving his agenda this year.

She is the politically expedient choice and this time it works in the 2A's favor as much as can be reasonably expected.
