Scalia and Kennedy will retire during Republican administrations because they were appointed by Republicans and the history of the Court proves that fact to be generally true.

I look at the Justices he appointed in Massachusetts..75% of which we liberal.

I think Levin is wrong. I'll do what I think is right I am sure Mark will do likewise

History of court, generally true?

You say they “will be retiring” then you use the term “generally?” Hmmm not exactly quantitative or guaranteed...so, at best, you are making assumptions based on behaviors of past judges. Not sure you can make such assumptions based on past behaviors. Heck, look at what Roberts did this spring regarding obamacare!!!!

Not sure of your historical assumptions...it is now past one a.m. and perhaps over weekend i will attempt look at past judge retirements.

However, I do really respect the experience, intellect and knowledge base of Levin and am going to follow his lead. Romney is not perfect in any way shape or form, and if he wins, I suspect, I will be a prolific poster railing on many of his decisions.

However, I don’t think Romney is anti-USA...Clue: Have you seen 2016? If not, would highly recommend it. After you see it, you may decide that there is indeed a difference in world views between Romney and the current administration.

You do what you think is right; so will I. I don’t believe that this country will survive as we know it with 4 more years of this progressive experiment. Like it or not, Romney is the only man on the planet who might be able to unseat the current administration. In good conscience, I cannot ignore that fact.

To be fair and objective one must understand the politics of his court appointments. They had to be approved by an overwhelmingly liberal legislature.

Romney was never going to win that fight and stack the state courts with conservatives. That was an impossible task that would have come with a very heavy political price.

I am tired of this argument repeatedly being posted here on FR. It is a narrow argument that ignores reality. An appropriate analogy would be criticizing the QB for his passer rating during a game played in a monsoon. Peyton Manning on his best day could not pass effectively in those conditions.

It’s time to get over the temper tantrum and face reality.
