Republicans and outside groups are preparing to inflict maximum political pain on whomever President Barack Obama nominates for the Supreme Court, already scouring through his short list hoping to dig up dirt that can be used in ad blitzes and political attacks.

America Rising, the party’s premier opposition research firm, has had a dozen staffers scrutinizing potential nominees for a week on behalf of the Judicial Crisis Network, a well-funded clearinghouse for the Supreme Court ad wars.

Obama's pick, in short, will get all the drawbacks of heightened scrutiny that comes with the nomination, but with little chance of actually getting the job.
