If he didn't name someone, it would be a dereliction of his duty.

At some point, maybe after the conventions, or maybe after General Election night, he should probably withdraw the nomination. I would so love to see who Prez-elect Sanders would nominate. Probably someone from the 9th Circuit, which would cause Repub heads to melt.
