Not good for the courts. Stevens would replaced with a younger model marxist. And should one of the good Justices run into some health problems.....
How old is Kennedy now? I'm concerned with a Democrat replacing that guy. Kennedy is a moderate and I think he would rather be replaced by a Republican President. In a way, I wish he retired before 2006.
There’s no evidence McCain will appoint a Conservative replacement. Indeed, in the interests of “bipartisanship” and comity and citing the need for “balance”, he will likely pick another Stevens liberal parasite as a replacement. It’s worth noting that Republicans have chosen some of the worst activist liberals in the 20th century for the courts. Jimmy Carter didn’t appoint Stevens, Jerry Ford did (and Ford, even up to his death KNOWING how leftist Stevens was, NEVER regretted his appointment). Ike appointed the ultimate judicial scum of the 20th century, Earl Warren.
Conversely, JFK appointed Byron “Whizzer” White, who turned out to be a fairly model justice and was not a leftist. Another potential Dem appointee that almost ended up on the Supremes was former Virgin Islands Governor William H. Hastie. Hastie was a Black Conservative who was bitterly opposed by both Warren and racist Dems like MS’s Sen. James Eastland. Instead, the ultraleft imbecile Thurgood Marshall became the 1st Black on the court.
