 Souter Is OuterPosted on Apr 30, 2009
U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter is reportedly planning to retire from the bench at the end of the court’s current term. Souter’s decision to leave will likely not affect the political balance of the court, as his replacement by President Obama will likely be another liberal-minded justice.

It’s going to be all “change we’ll have to live with”.
Good riddance to Souter, but it’s out of the frying pan and into the fire I’m afraid.

Michael Steele lecturing a Democratic President on not seeking to impose a liberal legacy but one reflective of mainstream America? [pause to wretch] This is Obama’s chance to do something not terribly painful, not even hard, for all of those who voted for him because they believed his “change we can believe in” meant, well, “change”. (Those of us who knew better but voted for the lesser evil don’t expect miracles, but this really should not be hard for him to do. Is Lawrence Tribe still alive?)

For a double benefit, President Obama might well nominate Joe Biden for this post.

Mark:
My thoughts exactly. Maybe David Addington.
Whatever, we can rest assured that it’s gonna be a real kick in the face.

I’m confused: how does posting links to other people’s headline reporting constitute “drilling beneath the headlines?” Your site sucks.

I don’t want to think about it.
The guy who put Geithner and Summers in charge of fixing the economy is gonna appoint a Supreme Court Justice?
If he put the guys who did most to destroy our economy in charge of fixing it, won’t he appoint whoever did the most to destroy our Constitution to the job of interpreting it?
Karl Rove, maybe?
