When John Paul Stevens is replaced, that is when the real fun begins. But he will probably end up being replaced by someone like Alberto Gonzales, and it won't matter anyway.
The real fun begins when also Ginsburg steps down. Remember her present health is not in a perfect condition!?!
For some reason I always figure Ginsburg will be around a bit longer than Stevens will.
Pro-life people are patient. They have waited 30 years. People who were against segregation and slavery had to wait a long time too before the Supreme Court reversed themselves.
The closest we have ever got to tipping the pro-abortion majority on the Court was the Brennan vacancy. It was 4 justices pro-life and 4 justices pro-abortion. Then we got Souter. Bleah. But we remain patient.
