It’s not surprising to those of us that have been paying any attention.

Ruthie seems determined to NOT let obummer appoint her successor, being the only ‘white’ women on the Court proves lonely, maybe.
Maybe a prayer is in order for Ruthie’s health? /s

I think Alicia at the Times is engaging in wishful thinking. I’m betting 0bamacare gets HobbyLobbied again.

The fact that there have been so many decisions split 5 to 4 makes me wonder if there is such a thing as impartiality.
These should be among our finest judicial minds and they can't come to a consensus on anything.

Remember though, we’re all going to need to coalesce behind Jeb for the sake of Supreme Court nominees....

You’re right. Bush appointed him. He was vetted. Bush and Bush’s underlings all knew everything about Roberts. If he could be blackmailed, Bush knew it. If he was a fraud and leaned left, Bush knew it.

Bammy (and ValJar) is very likely not down with appointing Jooz to SCOTUS. Bammy would love to appoint a Sharia complient Justice.

This is a (legal term follows) prima facia case for a conservative President being elected along with retaining the Senate in 2016! Just imagine the generational damage from adding a 5th Liberal Supreme Court Justice!? Strange how the MSM just shrugs and smiles about the lock-step liberal 4 Justices (Breyer, Ginsburg, Sotomayor & Kagan) but gets totally PRISSY about the 3 consistent conservatives (Thomas, Scalia & Alito) never 'evolving!'
Regardless and I MEAN IT, electing any of the GOP Candidates will give us a better SCOTUS than Hillary. Staying home in 2016 cannot be an option!

These should be among our finest judicial minds and they can't come to a consensus on anything.
Since the Robert Bork debacle, all the appointees have been political hacks.
They're the only ones that can survive the "Advice and Consent" process.
