Rush Limbaugh confused on Supreme Court balance. Still will be 5-4, same as before. Not 6-3.

O Connor was on the right side of Kelo...she wrote the dissent that Rehnquist and Scalia joined in.

Look it up
125 S.Ct. 2655

There are four conservatives: Alito, Thomas, Scalia, Roberts.

Two liberals: Kennedy, Souter.

And three nutcases.

Thanks for the extra information. You are probably right about Thomas' shyness. Some people abbhor being the center of attention, and I suspect Thomas is one of them.

It's worth repeating; Limbaugh is a rabid idiot to whom the truth is only a coincidence if it happens to accompany his unrelenting, daily and wholly manufactured spin on contemporary events.

Kennedy voted to overturn Roe before he voted to uphold it.

At conference on Casey, Justice Anthony Kennedy originally voted with Thomas, Scalia, White and Rehnquist to uphold all of the Pennsylvania abortion regulations and overturn Roe. However, Kennedy changed his vote at the last minute and joined with fellow justices Sandra Day O'Connor and David Souter to form a plurality that would uphold Roe.

thank you so much for your very informative post... i truly appreciate it... when GHB nominated Thomas, i was just beginning to see the "conservative" light... back then, as a liberal, i thought that anything conservative or Republican was "bad... evil."

You obviously don't listen to Rush Limbaugh very much.

I heard him predict that Bush will have one more appointment to make, and THAT -- not Alito -- will change the balance. Any other listeners recall it this way?

Right, he was talking about when/if Ruth Bader Ginsburg steps down during George W's term in office he would be choosing another Supreme Court Justice and the court would be 6-3.

If Stevens was a conservative the MSM would be clamoring for him to be ousted out of office, circulating gossip about his health and his mind - and snarling and sniping that 30 years is long enough. They might even be clamoring for term limits. As it is, the MSM is actually hoping that his heart continues to beat (engaing in any and all new age or pagan prayer rituals).

it wouldn't surprise me if the new Chief Justice turned out to be less conservative than his predecessor.

I am not so sure about that. Remember the Roberts interview where he used the reaffirming of Miranda as an example of the Rehnquist court not being very conservative. That was a 7-2 opinion, with only Rehnquist and Thomas in the minority. Roberts in pretty hard core if he was being critical of that majority opinion.

T"hats why don't believe a candidate running as a hard-core movement conservative is a slam dunk. I know a lot of people cite Reagan as the example of how attractive conservative principles are to the body politic. In 1980 Carter was such an abject failure, people where willing look past the supposed 'hard edge conservative' Reagan was. Now I wish the argument was won and a real conservative with a strong commitment to restoring real constitutional government. However the 'body politic' is there yet. It as you pointed to evenly divided. The goal should keep the momentum even if its 'two step forward & one step back' (yes I am quoting Lenin!, sometimes even a broken clock is right !)"

I shouldn't type on the run ! Let me make the following corrections:

"people where willing" should read "people were willing"

"the 'body politic' is there yet. " should read " the 'body politc' is NOT there yet"

Kennedy is NOT a conservative. Not even close.
