President Obama has narrowed his list of potential Supreme Court nominees to three names and could announce a pick to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia as early as this week. The three finalists are federal appeals court judges Sri Srinivasan, Merrick Garland and Paul Watford, all of whom are men. Srinivasan was confirmed to his current appeals court post by a unanimous Senate vote of 97 to 0. He would be the first Asian American and first Hindu on the court.
