All the more reason to vote as many Dhimmies out as possible in 2010.

I think Republicans can filibuster this in the Senate indefinitely if they have the guts. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Well yeah. It almost doesn't matter, since it is hard to imagine how anyone oculd be worse than he is now. Just stretches out the vile obscene incompetence for another thirty years or so, is all.

Deval Patrick has a better chance of replacing Eric Holder for the Deputy AG slot. Anything that officially creates “ex-Governor Deval Patrick” will make me feel much better.

To: Sub-Driver
I’m sure he will, so that Obama will have the chance to appoint another liberal to the court. God forbid Stevens holds off retiring, and a conservative Republican is elected President in 2012. He’d kick himself if THAT happened!

I thought he died five years ago and his clerks had him stuffed.
That was Larry King. If you look real close, you can see the marionette strings hooked to his suspenders.

Not likely.

“This will be battle royal.....”
Just like it was a battle royal during the confirmations of Sotomayor, Ginsburg and Bryer.

My mom will be 90 in June, God willing.
I cringe at the thought of her making important decisions.

Souter was named by a Republican but waited for a Democrat to be able to pick his successor.
Stevens may want to retire before the November elections so that Obama can pick a further-to-the-left replacement than may be possible next year. But even if the Republicans regain control of the Senate, all Obama has to do is pick a minority nominee and enough of the Republicans will vote for him or her out of fear of being called racists.
I think we have Clarence Thomas in there because of the Gulf War--Bush's popularity right afterwards made Thurgood Marshall assume he would be re-elected. He could have stayed on the court until his death and then Clinton would have chosen his replacement.
To: Verginius Rufus
Stevens is an @ss*ole and Obama will pick a young, radical and likely before November. Unless one or more of our five meet our Creator, we’ll be all right until 2012 when we can anticipate retirements and our own appointments.

I’m not concerned about the skin color. I am concerned about unqualified, America-hating socialists, having access to the decisions made in this country. Diversity is no reason or excuse to judicially bastardize the Constitution

"I think Republicans can filibuster this in the Senate indefinitely if they have the guts. Correct me if Im wrong." If not for McCain, Snowe, Collins, Graham --- did miss any other RINOs?

He better hurry up, he has less than a year until Republicans control Congress and less than three years till Obama is a former president.

This will be battle royal... I doubt it. The only good news is Obama could search the Taliban, retired KGB or his own Ameeican Nazi Party and could not find a worse Supreme Court Justice. He'll have to settle for one just as bad.

Retire, pinko, and let the fun begin!
Democrat and ‘Moderate’ (stands for nothing) RINOs should be driven crazy by faxes, telephone calls and emails to block ANY candidate proposed by the communist traitor!
