Do you still think they won’t have another retirement on the Supremes, allowing Obama to nominate a so-called “moderate”?

I don’t think we can afford to place our country’s future in the hands of anyone organization; we need to stop this cr@p in legislatures across the land, including Washington, D.C., then ensure that any new Supreme Court nominees are strict constructionist conservatives. Screw the goal of “balance” on the Court, which has taken us to the edge of this dangerous precipice.

[Verginius Rufus]

What matters is that none of the 4 conservatives or the swing vote (Kennedy) retires or dies while Obama is still in office--I don't think any of them will voluntarily step down so we have to hope no unexpected deaths or incapacitations occur. If Obama seems headed for defeat next year, maybe one of the older leftists will retire to let him pick a young leftist as a replacement.

If he gets another four years he would have a much better chance of getting another chance to load the Court with hard-line leftists.
