Thank Gerald Ford for nominating the bowtie-wearing lefty extremist. I don’t think Obama could find anyone worse if he tried.

It will be a wise black woman whom nobody can deny unless they want to be called a racist.

Another reminder of the failure of Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr.

What appalling grammar.

Shows you what 35,000 a year in a dying industry will buy you. But . . . do they really assign cub reporters to write stories announcing Supreme Court retirements? And . . . a cub editor too. Guess it’s hard to find good liberal talent these days.

There’s probably too much time until next January for it to be stalled that long....that’s 9 months.

Bork! Bork! Bork!

No, that's not my seal impression.

Many here are calling for the pubbies to play hard ball.

No, not hard ball . . . Extreme Fighting. No holds barred.

Sessions, Hatch, Grassley, Kyl, Graham, Cornyn, Coburn - they all should be getting tens of thousands of phone calls daily telling them to not let anyone through who is not a moderate Democrat, to the right of Stevens.

Nobody to the left of Stevens gets through.

And if that turd Graham won’t go along, then McConnell needs to remove him from the committee.

Extreme Fighting, my FRiends.

The timing of Steven's retirement demonstrates how committed a socialist he is, and probably always was.

Stevens reads the polls.

Stevens knows that this year is the last chance in decades for a socialist President to ram through a socialist nominee.

Gerald Ford was warned, but like many in the 70s, didn't realize how dangerous a 5th column we are up against.

Today, however, these characters have removed their masks, thinking that they have adequately indoctrinated the masses.

The mid-terms will be the Zombies versus the Sane.

I wouldn’t expect much from Republican RINOs, but they finally did vote no on Onadacare—or was that because Nancy didn’t need their votes? November is not far off. One can only hope enough of them are rejected and replaced with conservatives to actually change the dynamic in Washington.

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, socialist.

If the Pubbies don’t fight WHOMEVER is the nominee tooth and nail - just because - then they are finished. NOW IS THE TIME TO FIGHT, TO SHOW THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

No fight = metaphysical proof that the Republicans are “The Stupid Party” (of course, we all know that the jackassess are “The Evil Party”).

Stevens has been making noises for awhile now about retiring during Obama’s reign of terror so he could be replaced by another Leftist.

I’m wondering if Obama would nominate Hillary for all the usual usery reasons the Left nominates women, and to keep her from running against him in 2012 as well.

you can be sure that who ever he appoints will be very young and on that bench for a long time to come, sadly the GOP hasn’t the balls to fight him on this either and will say we have to work together

if his numbers are down in 2012 Ginsburg will step down too for him to appoint a young person to the bench

sickening, the court now is just as political and do not go by the constitution like their party

Well, isn’t that just peachy... At least it’s a lib for a lib — but no doubt this one will be even MORE Fascist.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg is rumored to be very sick.

C-SPAN did interviews with all the Supreme Court justices recently. Ginsberg seemed like she was still mentally competent, but to me a lot of her responses seemed noticeably delayed, as if she was having trouble summoning the energy to answer.
