WASHINGTON

One thing we know, his replacement will not be a straight, white male.

If you read back over this four year old thread, it’s amazing how many otherwise intelligent people said things like “this time the GOP will stand up”, or similar.

So many still don’t get it.

President Barack Obama now has his second high court opening to fill.

Third.

[9YearLurker]

Absolutely not white.

Possibly a man.

Maybe openly, as opposed to closeted, gay this time?

[DoodleDawg]

Easy prediction: The nominee will be a minority female, so that they can play the race and misogyny card and keep the “Tea Parties are racist” narrative going.

Both his appointments have been female. He'll pick a black male this time.

[DoodleDawg]

Damn. I really need to start checking the dates before I post.

That pretty much confirms the believe that the Dem's will lose the senate in November.

Have to fight off this decision until after the elections whatever they do.

Naaa, she had her law license revoked. Won't be her, but I got a bad feeling that Holder has his mind set on the position.

Play the race card one more time

Stevens said Friday he will step down when the court finishes its work for the summer in late June or early July. He said he hopes his successor is confirmed "well in advance of the commencement of the court's next term."

The Republicans should make this confirmation last through the November election.

[mware]

yeah me too.

President Barack Obama now has his second high court opening to fill.

Unfortunately, it's his third. The affirmative action choice in Sotomayor and a lackey in Kagan.

This is why I held my nose for Romney. We get another f'up for 25 years.

[Darren McCarty]

Damn I need to check the dates and the names.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Bummer. Soon to be followed by Ginsburg.

[9YearLurker]

Fortunately we didn’t afford W that right—or we’d have Harriet Myers right now to go along with Dad’s David Souter.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Hillary Rohdam Cancles has the inside track.”

If it has to be a Clinton, I’d prefer Bubba; he’s not as militant or liberal as PIAPS — IMO.
