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?
People, people, people!!!! Are you insinuating that our Honorable Supreme Court Justices aren't all truly "honorable" men and women? Really, I am appalled...
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.
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.
1 more W appointee and we won't have to worry about swingers.
OK, I'm going to be the unpopular one.
I think Roberts is going to be the swing vote. I don't believe he's the conservative savoir that so many FReepers think his is.
A couple of them are OLD and in declining health. Hopefully, Bush will get another chance to nominate one more. Just to really twist the knife into the libnuts' backs. HAHAHHAAHA.
I don't think any SCOTUS justice should be a "swing voter"....they are all supposed to rule by the Constitution, not swing left or right. I'm tired of that old media "invented phrase". It's worn out like the rats' 1960s campaign playbook.
