“I might add, that shyster dimocrats(but I repeat myself), by choosing sympathetic jurists have for decades been laying down a trail of precedent crumbs they presume to be followed by later courts.”
Which is why Obama’s Supreme Court nominees must be opposed. If they are radicals (and they will be), they should be filibustered, delayed and blocked by all means. When the GOP retakes the Senate in January, the Majority Leader can and should refuse to bring them to the floor. If Stevens retires, the GOP should give Obama a list of GOP nominees from which he can choose (since Stevens was a GOP appointee) taken from the most conservative Circuit (the 5th). If he chooses one of them, then the nominee will be confirmed. If not, no vote. Don’t give him an inch. Total war.
Any thoughts on my questions in the previous post. Some legal eagles might fill a large gap in Freepers', or at least my understanding of the intent of the Founders concerning interstate commerce. Just a hunch but I doubt their intentions were as far reaching as some latter day "experts" have offered.
