If the first President Bush had picked a conservative instead of Souter, that person might still be on the court—instead of Sotomayor. If there had been one more conservative on the court, Roberts might have voted as part of a 6-3 conservative majority. He was afraid to be the deciding vote in a 5-4 conservative majority. Obama’s intimidation of the court worked.

“Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.”

BULLSHIT! If those elected leaders produce unconstitutional law the ONLY job of the Supreme Court is to strike it down and protect the Constitution.
