"Oooth. Thoopt it!"

Kennedy is the swing vote.
I'm just waiting for Stevens to be replaced.
At 85, you can put a fork in him...
I don't want Lady Justice to "Swing" the scales. I want them nice and steady, still and balanced, and no peeking from behind the blindfold......
"Oooth. Thoopt it!"
Hmmm... I dunno. But that sounds rather kinky to me.
This is a ch__ch. What's missing?
Souter would probably like the idea. I still think that guy looks like a perv.
Hmmm... I dunno. But that sounds rather kinky to me.Ummm...looking at these justices, the very concept of "swinging justice" is just.....wrong.
What, just because he lived alone in the woods with his mommy?
The freak probably has her stuffed in a rocking chair.
People, people, people!!!! Are you insinuating that our Honorable Supreme Court Justices aren't all truly "honorable" men and women? Really, I am appalled...
What blows me away about Souter is that he is so thoroughly sold out to the left. Not even a tip of the hat to the conservatives who put him there.
How in the hell did Bush Sr. and Sununu choose this badly?
My money's on Souter...I think Ginsberg had him wrapped around her little finger. But with the new additions of Roberts and Alito, that 'aint no longer possible...
Kennedy is likely to side with liberals more often than not, now that there appears to be four solid conservatives. Sad but true. Bush needs just one more opportunity to nominate, and he will have built one hell of a legacy for himself. Stevens and/or Ginsburg are definite possibilities, although I'm sure they will hang on with dear life hoping that 2008 brings a Dem or RINO president.
Well said.
For his first couple years, he actually ruled with Scalia about 85% of the time, but something moved him left over the years.
Someone in a previous post said Ginsburg has cancer again but I have not heard this elsewhere. If she were to retire though I think the brouhaha over the next Bush nominee would make the Alito mess look like a tea party.
Back when O'Connor announced her retirement I said Justice Kennedy would be the biggest power tripper in the country (As he would probably be the only swing vote left).
Should not be a big surprise.
Hopefully, Bush will be able to fill another vacancy. Ideally, he'd get to fill multiple vacancies before his term is up.
Yeps, there will be so much screaming, knashing of teeth and just general slashing of wrists that the libs will come totally unhinged. It t'will be a sight to behold. I wouldn't even be surprised to see a physical attack on the nominee..
Stevens is 85, it's not inconcievable that he takes a dirt nap before Bush's term is up.
