<h1 class="asset-headline">Who could <a href="http://konnie-moments.blogspot.com/2016/02/breaking-news-supreme-court-justice.html" target="_blank">replace Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia </a>if Republicans don&#8217;t block all of President Obama&#8217;s nominees, as appears likely? Here are 10 possibilities:</h1>
<p><b>Sri Srinivasan: </b>The 48-year-old federal appeals court judge was confirmed unanimously in 2013 for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit — a traditional stepping-stone to the Supreme Court. He would be the court&#8217;s first Indian-American justice.</p>

<p><b>Patricia Millett: </b>Srinivasan&#8217;s 52-year-old colleague on the D.C. Circuit is popular in both parties and is frequently mentioned as a possible candidate. She argued 32 cases before the Supreme Court as an advocate.<span style="font-size:x-small;"><i> </i></span><br />

</i></span> <b>Merrick Garland: </b>At 63, Garland is older than most nominees, since presidents want their choices to stick around for decades on the bench. He is a moderate who serves as chief judge on the D.C. Circuit court and could be a compromise choice.</p>

</i></span>Kamala Harris: California&#8217;s attorney general, 51, could be another leading candidate. She has the added luster of holding political office, a life experience that is sorely lacking on the Supreme Court. She&#8217;s currently running for the U.S. Senate seat of retiring Sen. Barbara Boxer.<br />

<b>Goodwin Liu: </b>He was Obama&#8217;s choice for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in 2010, but Republicans blocked his nomination, making him a less likely choice now. At 45, he sits on the California Supreme Court.<br />
