Your almost a week late Eric.
The short version is that Ginsberg also will retire during the Obama regime which means that the socialist will replace 3 of 4 liberal Justices, no loss to us as those 4 are already lost to the Red's.
Upside ? Unless they leave and are replaced before January 2011, which is unlikely, the anti socialist landslide coming in November could put Conservatives in those seats.

It was just speculation up until this point -- although anyone with a brain could see the writing on the wall.





*Yes, I too could see the writing on the wall ;D

On the upside, maybe SCOTUS, will decide on Chicago, while at least one liberal justice is out.

I think Stevens is planning to finish the term which ends after Chicago is decided.

My main concern is Thomas - a reliable Constitutionalist and not in the best of health.

Last I heard he was going to try to hang on until an American was President.

So who do you intend to appoint to replace him, Tom?
