Well, if it's Stevens and Ginsberg, no harm no faul.

Lord, please let nothing happen to any of the fab four.

Lord, please let nothing happen to any of the fab four.

That's one reason that the SC nominations were not that big of an issue for me in this campaign.

Would I rather have had McCain making the selections than Obama? Sure.

But, the oldest justices are the most liberal. Chances are that any retirements will simply replace one liberal with another.

Is Stevens a RINO?

Long past that! Just an open Liberal.

1) Boy George
2) Pee Wee Herman

Obama throws a bone to the transgendered community.

My take on this from the other day (ahead of the MSM as usual) is here:

"It is quite likely he would choose a woman or a minority," said Nathaniel Persily, a law professor at Columbia University in New York. "If he could find a Hispanic woman, that would be ideal, the best choice," he added.

Based on their hiring criteria, a gay, black woman, or a transgendered hispanic, or a left-handed, red-headed Asian bisexual would be the perfect choice.

I don’t see Boy George getting it- he’s British. I think you have to be an American citizen to be appointed.

Of course, I thought you had to be an American citizen to be President, too, but not if the MSM covers foreign birth up.

So nice I said it twice.

Note to self: wait 45 seconds after clicking to post.

You forgot to make him/her handicapped.

Well, we do know that at least one has been putting off retirement specifically so that Bush wouldn’t have another appointee.

[Ron C.]

Not two - I’m betting he will nominate three... and one of them just might be Hillary... or so goes the story from her supporters who believe that was in a deal she made with the O.

However it turns out, we’ll see the court lurch hard left before this thing is over.

Lenin and Marx?

A terrible oversite on my part. If only Bush could have nominated a Pre-Proposition 8 married gay left handed red headed Asian Female paraplegic vegan atheist to the Supreme Court, his legacy as a uniter would have been assured.

[Joe 6-pack]

At least we know it won't be Robert Byrd. His robes are the wrong color....

“we do know that at least one has been putting off retirement specifically so that Bush wouldn’t have another appointee.”

Chances are it’s more than one.

[eastsider]

Is that gang of 14 rule still in effect ...

Are John McCain and Lindsey Graham still senators?

[aliquando]

Because only white conservative male can be racist and sexist. Have they not explained the RULES to you? I think I might be a Nazi, white supremacist, male chauvinist pig too!

[Hugin]

True. Lord knows we’ve had our share of Justices that didn’t turn out as planned.

[Carley]

Two ultra lib commies to replace two ultra lib commies.

Thank God we have Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalia.

The Presidents Bush did us proud.
