Regardless of whom Obama nominates to succeed soon-to-retire Justice David H. Souter, Republicans have already stockpiled ammunition against possible nominees. According to Gary Marx, executive director of the conservative Judicial Confirmation Network, donors have pledged to contribute millions to media advertisements in an effort to reunite the GOP in a confirmation battle. Richard A. Viguerie, a Republican fundraiser, confirms, “It’s an immense opportunity to build the conservative movement and identify the troops out there. It’s a massive teaching moment for America. We’ve got the package written. We’re waiting right now to put a name in.”
