The Pubs had better make this a fight.
This can be a real election year boon if they fight obama’s radical nominees...

That is a big IF. They should bork the nominee. The nominee will definitely have enough leftist radicalism in his past to ensure lots of trash coming out before the hearings.

Well, it will be a change from a Liberal, to an America-hating Marxist who embraces fascism.

But I repeat myself.

Count on the replacement to be a dissenting opinion on determining the un-Constitutionality of the government run healthcare law...And they will not support a repealing of that law...

Obama may get one more before all said and done...

We better hope Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito stay healthy...

Dirty pervert is doing it now to make sure that the Dems still hold the majority in the Senate. Because he wants to make sure Obama can appoint another freak rat traitor to the Constitution like himself. he knows just like we do, if his replacement isn’t a done and sealed issue, come November, He won’t see himself replaced by nother like minded scumrat Leftist.

He is retiring for purely political motives and timing.

Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, the court's oldest member and leader of its liberal bloc, he is retiring.

What appalling grammar.

Lessee. McCain names "moderates," who then are stonewalled by the Dem majority in the Senate, so he backs down and names even more "moderate" people.

I don't care if it's Stevens or Ginzy: a liberal=a radical. The #s are all that matter, and with McCain, we still wouldn't have gotten any different outcomes.

This is GREAT. If we can take a big bite out of the Dem majority or even reverse it, we can force a better appointment than Stevens!!!!!

Hatch approved Ginsberg in advance. He and a handful of other GOP members will see to it that the Senate confirms whoever Obama nominates.
