Yeah, While Roberts & Alito were fun, once Alito is confirmed, the rest of the dimlib judges won't have a reason to stay.
Bring on the retirements. :-)
Bring on the Nuclear option....
It's a good time to be a Conservative.
SCOREBOARD.....
If GWB can get one more true conservative on the bench he will achieved nearly everything for which I hoped for in voting for him. He'll go down in history as a great President who restored republican federalism's true meaning, not withstanding that he will have saved untold lives. He will have a reward awaiting him.
Well, technically, the liby judges have every reason to stay after Alito's confirmation.
The court will be split right down the middle: Alito/Roberts/Scalia/Thomas (assuming they'll stick together) : Breyer/Ginsberg/Stephens/Souter with Kennedy being the swingman.
We need one more vote. Kennedy will vote conservative occasionally, but he seems to side with the liberals a bit too often for my comfort. I would think that the libs are going to hang on until they croak or maybe until they have a Dim president or at least a Dim senate.
