NPR has learned that Supreme Court Justice David Souter is planning to retire at the end of the court's current term.

Correct me if I’m wrong. But Souter has proven to be an activist (commie) judge. So I don’t see this appointment as changing much if anything with regard to the Court’s conservative/left balance of power.
We will have a problem if one of our Supreme Court guys bows out for what ever reason. Hmmmm, I hope they all are prudent about exposing themselves to outright hits or “accidents”.
Waited until Specter switched parties I see...
It's hers to lose.
Count on Obama replacing that left wing sop with an absolute nutjob.
Effer. Here's hoping your retirement is one of abject misery and that your retirement home is confiscated through the eminent domain abuse you legalized.
Good news? There's talk he may appoint a POLITICO or may be pressured to appoint a female, ideally an hispanic. During the campaign he mentioned appointing someone who is sympathic to the poor and minority plight.
Yes, but this is another lost opportunity for conservaties stemming from the refusal of GWB to “govern” as a conservative. Actually, presidents don’t “govern”, but the American people cannot understand the distinction.
Again, he is not NH’s shining star, but people there probably think so. John Sununu (Sr.) should be proud.
Orrin G. Hatch was a cheerleader for Ruth Ginsburg and EMK’s former aide, Breyer, and the unusual people of UT merely reelected Hatch three times for doing so!
NO, he can pick anyone and still get 80 votes out of that failed Senate.
Ya know, after four years of this... the old fan is going to be buried under about a trillion tons of the Øbamanation’s shite!
Souter was never a moderate. Howard Phillips exposed him at the time of the nomination, as I recall. He was “moderate” only in the sleepy eyes of John Sununu (Sr.)
It will be a Marxist, black female- Maxine Waters comes to mind.
Why would he want that job when he already controls the presidency?
After doing his part to wreck the country, he’ll go softly into the lecture circuit. What a bunch of sissies we’ve become, seeing how his “retirement” doesn’t include tar nor feathers.
Did you really spit?
“Was he waiting for a democrat president?”
No. Waiting for a veto proof majority.
The talkers on my AM are saying there will be no ideological change, but I disagee, a younger left-wing nutter will be replaced.
Anyway, I’m glad to see Souter go! I hope somebody condemns his home.
“will be toast” Let’s admit it, it’s already toast.
I’m sure Zero will deliberately pick someone he knows will incite anger among conservatives.
“Dont hold your breath that well get a closet moderate or conservative.”
That’s a good point. Only the liberals (evil people) hide who they are.
