What a sad state of affairs in the formerly great representative republic of the USA -

ONE MAN has unappealable power to set policy and law,

because he is the “swing vote” on the USSC.

Waaaaaaaaaaay too many 5-4 decisions. Is our Constitution hanging on by a thread?

http://cbs4denver.com/national/supreme.court.discrimination.2.1063720.html WASHINGTON (AP) ― The Supreme Court has ruled that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., were unfairly denied promotions because of their race, reversing a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals court judge. The white firefighters argued they were discriminated against when the city tossed out the results of a promotion exam because too few minorities scored high enough on it. Sonia Sotomayor, who has been nominated to take Souter's seat, was one of three appeals court judges who ruled that New Haven officials acted properly. It's Justice David Souter's last day on the Supreme Court. Souter said he'd retire when the court rises for the summer recess. He was named to the court in 1990. (© 2009 The Associated Press.

I’m sure the spin will be that this is proof of why it’s an emergency to get her confirmed.
