And a nominee like the two Obama-appointed justices currently sitting on the court, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, would face a possible filibuster.

How do you figure? Filibusters have been done away with when it comes to judicial nominees. And McCain, Graham, Collins, and Kirk will vote to confirm anyone Obama nominates. Your only hope at this point is to pray, and pray hard, that Ginsburg doesn't retire any time in the next two years.

I really dont see there being much chance at redemption in a Federal injustice system that has proven it self so capable of rewriting law as whim. Until there are effective checks upon their tyrannical power it is unreasonable to expect any juged could be appoited that would be able to resist such a temptation to corruption.

The federal injustice system needs to be abolished for the most part and its more corrupt injustices put on trial for dilibearly disregarding thier oath.

What remains needs to be left to the States and what their people pass as justice systems. The Federal courts only ever had remotely legitimate jurisdiction on disputes between them and entirely outside them.
