The whole stinking country shifted so far right that Steven appears to be a leftist. You are right about Hugo Black, but hoping for that to happen again is a long shot at best.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397335545286040472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125940219291633674.post-2944015112630064092010-04-12T09:24:36.601-05:002010-04-12T09:24:36.601-05:00The Republicans will try to stonewall whomever Oba...The Republicans will try to stonewall whomever Obama picks. They're interested in "Waterloo"ing him, not in the merits of the case, They've demonstrated that repeatedly.<br /><br />Since Obama's going to get a fight no matter what he does, he might as well go with somebody solid like Wood.Infidel753http://infidel753.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125940219291633674.post-92107287234103573832010-04-11T18:09:17.661-05:002010-04-11T18:09:17.661-05:00Holte, LOL...Jesus would definitely be too liberal...Holte, LOL...Jesus would definitely be too liberal for them, hahaha.<br /><br />He's right.

A moderate was fine to replace another moderate, but not to replace Stevens who, along with Ginsburg are the only two Justices considered leftist, even by today's right-skewed standards.<br /><br />Diane Wood might be a better choice, or perhaps Dawn Johnson.
