1. Let's hope they are replaced by justices who will overturn all bans on Marriage Equality when Prop 8

4. NP - Seeing those names and imagining their relief was very moving to me.
I can only imagine what it must be like to be a person of conscience with respect for the Constitution sitting on the Supreme Court to have to go to work every day with phony carpetbagger thugs like Thomas, Scalia and Roberts.

It must be horrific for them.

14. JP Stevens has been a hero of mine for years
I hope he enjoys a very long, healthy and happy retirement ... he's certainly earned it.

13. Would it be tottally inappropriate of me...
...to hope that one of the Ugly Four will go, too? I never wish harm on other people, but dayum.
