The issue of USSC appointments is the only reason I’m holding my nose and voting GOP this year. While President Bush has been a disappintment to conservatives, there’s little doubt that Kerry would not have nominated Roberts and Alito to serve on the USSC.

Stevens is about 87 years old I think and you know he's just holding on until a Democrat gets elected. Buzzy Ginsburgh is 75 and in poor health supposedly. Maybe Buzzy holds out, but it's unlikely that Stevens can hold on for 4 more years. That means the next President is going to appoint a justice and most likely two.
