Expectation. Obama will choose an America hating crazy, with cover from the press. I mean someone who really hates everything this country stands for and has a point of view similar to the Ku Klux Klan, but on the left.

I see this as a good thing. It comes before the 2010 elections and it will demonstrate to the public, how important it is to have divided power in the house and senate. The public will see that Obama puts in a radical constitutional reformer activist judge and the debate will be on! We will see his true colors now and so will all the public.
.
Also, as an aside, the word is he is going to appoint a woman latina. He wants to appoint a judge based on a sex and ethnicity and not on the best person for the job! Now if that’s not racist and sexist I don’t know what is!

Souter is just a narcissistic “Rube in a Robe” leftist and O’bunghole will appoint ANOTHER leftist “Rube in a Robe”.

I read the biography that was the most recent on the Court. Souter really has never enjoyed Washington DC.

It’s interesting that he’s actually younger than many.

The Bench Memos from The Corner lay it out sadly- Obama voted against Roberts because he was following law, not his “feelings”.
This pick will be so bad he may as well appoint Bill Ayers.
P.S. – I hope Souter gets mugged again when he goes back to his midnight gay bar crawling in Manchester.

Well, the timing certainly tells you all you ever needed to know about where Souter’s true philosophical loyalties have always lain. And we have George H. W. to blame for that one. On the dark side, his replacement will certainly be much, much worse.

Sortofa slap in the face of the man that put him in office. Souter could have retired a few months ago and allowed the son of the man who appointed him to appoint his successor. But I guess ideology trumps loyalty…

Go back to Vermont, or New Hampshire, or whatever other little dinky state you came from that is over represented in the Senate, you partisan hack.

I agree with your last two posts. But somehow, I don’t think most of the others on this board will be so generous!

For someone to say that Souter was the “most reliably liberal” on this court shows absolutely no grasp of the court, or of Souter.

Enough of this stupid line. Limbaugh uses this line consistently to deflect criticism from himself. He knows he is a much responsible for what has happened because of his undying support of the GOP during its most corrupt years.

Sad to say, I too am responsible since I did everything I could to defend them as well, using the same reasoning as Rush. At least I admit it.

Interesting that Souter chose today to announce, just as the MSM was starting to question the stupidity of Biden’s comments.

angryed on May 1, 2009 at 10:11 AM

So you think that the White House was so worried about Biden’s gaffe-of-the-week that they pressured Souter to announce his retirement to distract? That’s ludicrous.

The only “good” news is that Souter was one of the most reliably liberal votes on the Court. Barry O would have to appoint an out-and-out socialist, practically, to tilt it further left.

Are you saying that the Court is already tilted towards the left? That’s clearly preposterous. The only tilting that the Court has done recently is when O’Connor (center-right) was replaced by Alito (hard right).

Come on guys, Obama promised to choose centrist judges – people who would be post-partisan! And besides if he picked some liberal judge the media and the left would pillory him if he ‘went against the moderates’ and made the Democrat tent a little smaller…right? OH, I see, it’s only bad when Republicans go against the mythical moderate and when they make ‘political’ decisions.

Really, though, we saw this coming and expected it to happen and the ‘balance’ currently in the court will be maintained. The bigger question is if Stevens will retire during Obama’s presidency. Elections have consequences.

Unless he attempts to pull an FDR and expand the SCOTUS so that he gets more picks. Don’t think the filthy lying bastard wouldn’t attempt to do so if he believes he can get away with it.

Except for that whole erosion of individual freedoms thing that will continue with whatever left-of-center bastard the filthy liar nominates and the Senate rubber stamps.

Elections have consequences and this is one of the worst if you believe in the non-socialist view of America.
