This is the best possible news conservatives can have. If Obama nominates a total lefty, the tea party folks that are already mobilized will take to the street; the pro-lifers will start sounding off (including PUMAs), and the Libertarians will come out (property rights). Replacing this guy is wonderful, now if only Justice Fencesitter (er. Stevens) would leave. Antonin, please stay healthy.
