Absolute moron.
The sad part is that he is probably as deep a thinker as obama (small o) is.
(As is your spelling, btw).
The Constitution specifies that the President is to appoint Justices to the Supreme Court. It is his right to choose whomever he wants to choose, and if that person is qualified (Bill Ayers is a criminal, for goodness' sake - what a silly example), then that person is on the Court.
That's why the Republicans approved the repugnant Ginsburg, and that's why we need to make sure to elect a conservative President in 2012.
Yep, Obama is a life long fraud who conned his way through college, the conned his way to the White House. Couldn’t happen again in a thousand years.
One of America’s worst justices. Thanks Chicago and Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr.
One has to come across a lot of dumb Americans to con so many for so long. I don’t “we the people” can learn.
Damn! Damn! Damn!
This was probably the BEST chance of the next Republican President being able to change the Court to a Conservative majority. Now we’re going to get some 30-year-old whose parents lived to be 100 who’ll never retire unless a democrat is President.
Damn! Damn! Damn!
I love all of these retiring announcements come out on a Friday...weasels.
“The Game plan. The Senate Repubs delay the confirmation until next January when the new Senators are seated.”
Do you really thing the Republicans will delay the confirmation in the same brave manner of they delayed the nominations of Sotomayor, Ginsburg and Breyer?
It should be their plan.
It should be, but I am afraid it will not be.
And they do not have the votes.
Sure they usually make some noise... complain and threaten to do ______ but in the end most of them cave.
In my opinion the Republicans don't want a pro life majority on the court, it would take away a great campaign issue for them.
The Repubs do have parliamentary procedures they could use to hold up any Obama appointment and they should use those. It would take 60 votes to bust or overcome it by cloture. As you know, the Dims don’t have a 60 vote lock anymore.
I know they can't overrule the Supreme Court on Roe... but
-—They could tax the heck out of the procedure...
-—They could make any doctor that wants to perform the procedure go through expensive and repetitive training...
-—They could create a national data base of everyone who gets or performs an abortion...
-—They could require a long waiting period...
-—They could require the consent of a judge...
-—They cold require the consent of a parent for minors...
-—They could sick the civil rights division on Planned Parenthood, to investigate why nearly all abortion clinics are built in minority neighborhoods...
There was a MILLION things the Republicans COULD of done, but didn't when they had total power. I can only assume they found it more beneficial to them to not change the status quo.
Ok...you owe me a new computer screen...mine is now filled with coffee. LOL
Olympia Snowe
With her it is maybe maybe not.
Your opinion regarding the pro-life majority is nonsensical, and your cynicism regarding Republicans indicates that you're not basing your views on facts, but rather on feelings.
It's OK for you to hate Republicans from a personal standpoint, but to try to make logical arguments based on your emotions just doesn't work.
The Republicans have gravely disappointed ALL conservatives (especially those of us with an R by our names), but saying outlandish things and making stupid accusations doesn't hurt the Republicans. It just makes you look irrational.
Its going to be Kagan and the GOP does not have the stones to stop it.
He is retiring for purely political motives and timing.

Sure he is, dirty lowlife bas&ard.
