Keep a watchful eye open for buses, Mr. Justice Kennedy.

I guarantee Obama is salivating at the even remote possibility of getting his THIRD SCOTUS nomination opportunity... in SINGLE term....

And I don’t trust Obama any farther than my 4 year old could throw him.

"Justice Kennedy, who turns 74 this month, has told relatives and friends he plans to stay on the high court for at least three more years – through the end of Obama’s first term, sources said."

May it be so, Lord.

Whew! That's good to hear. Now we just have to keep Obama to one term.

Whew! I almost had a heart attack this morning when Fox and Friends said Kennedy was going to retire. I don’t think America can withstand another pig on Barry’s SCOTUS pig farm.

“I guarantee Obama is salivating at the even remote possibility of getting his THIRD SCOTUS nomination opportunity.”

A frightening thought. Could Obama possibly find worse appointments than he already has? I was surprised he didn't pick Hillary just to keep her knife out of his backside.

74 years old is a bit long in the tooth for being on the court. We better hope and pray that a Republican wins the White House in 2012 or we are in HUGE trouble. I think quite a few conservatives are getting up there.

The often ailing Justice Ginsberg should be the next to go. I’ve read that she wants to step down but Stevens beat her to the punch. She may have to step down when the Senate will be considerably to the right than it is now. The Conservatives should shoot down every Kagan commie rat that Obama chooses. He will be forced to pick a justice to the right of Ginsberg.

I pray that God protects Justice Kennedy in these next few years. He is hardly a Constitutional Originalist — as ALL Justices OUGHT to be — but at least he holds back the otherwise HUGE wave of Progressivism and the unchecked Judicial Activism that would flood and DROWN our nation if he were to depart the court in an untimely manner.

Which brings me to say, dear GOD I hope he has EXCELLENT PRIVATE security and not merely “government assigned” security. It’s kind of scary we are at that place now, but, do I trust the life of KEY Conservatives to just ANY Federal Security agency folks? TO just ANY alphabet soup agency? NO. We just can’t afford to. The VAST majority are BEYOND QUESTION loyal and they’ll do their JOBS. But it only takes ONE.

The fearful thing is — I am just almost as apprehensive about the potential dangers to our adversaries in Government — for different reasons, but I’m afraid they could face the same dangers...

and his departure would set off a political firestorm on Capitol Hill the likes of which haven’t been seen since Clarence Thomas endured his trial by fire in the Senate.

Just like the firestorm from the GOP over The Wise Latina and Kagan the monkey...

Of course he could change his mind tomorrow if he feels differently. He is, after all, his own swing vote as well as ours.

As long as kennedy holds in there we should be in good shape. If the other old ones stick around past 2012 that’s bonus for us as it will make the court more conservative. I’m pretty confident we will win in 2012.

There’s always Bill Clinton: Think of the interns, think of the revenge against his enemies, think of how he can avoid the
old heifer by “working” late!
