Why couldn't if have been one of the evil fucks...Scalia or Alito.

[Obamarama]

Why someone who doesn't NEED replacing? The only positive thing in this situation is that if Justice Ginsberg does step down due to her illness, at least it won't be a Republican giving us another fucking fascist on the court.

1. Please oh Gods

Do not let a spirit of 'bipartisanship' prevail.
We cannot lose another human justice.
SCOTUS is a crypto fascist incubator, as it stands.

[T Wolf]

3. But, IF Obama nominates an appeaser, will most here say that we just do not get the wisdom and

brilliance of his strategy?

If he continues down this dead-end, bipartisan path, maybe he is not as brilliant as many have tried to say.

[sharp_stick]

4. Way to project

nothing has even happened yet and here we have pretend pissed off bullshit about it.

[Fovea]

15. He tried.

He said he would try bipartisanship.

While he made the unclenched fist comment about states we are in conflict with at the moment, it is just as true of the republicans.

Unfortunately, they are now the party of Joe the Plumber.

2. "Only the Good Die Young"n/t

[Greyhound]

5. Obama's going to place three or four Justices. Stevens and Breyer

are right behind Ginsburg, and if he gets a second term, there's a very good chance he will replace Scalia and even Souter might give it up.

My worry is that his nominations will look like his cabinet and stick us with another generation of corporate rule.

8. He wouldn't dare :)

Not after having to look his wife and daughters in the eye, because it is them and their peers who would suffer the most under a rethug justice.

[Greyhound]

9. Very good point. They're possibly the most influential people in the world right now. n/t

[JerseygirlCT]

14. I wish that list included more of the odious ones up front there

Stevens, Breyer and Souter we need. I'd be awfully happy to see Scalia, Alito and Thomas go, however.

[BOSSHOG]

6. Because Evil does not die

[Bake]

12. Patience, BOSS, patience ...

Scalia's getting on in years, and not looking too healthy either.

7. Hey, she stuck it out when it counted to NOT need replacing

Many thanks to her for that.

[ComtesseDeSpair]

10. I know.

I thought the same thing. The Evil Ones just keep on ticking forever and ever and ever and ever...

[cobalt1999]

11. Because there is no such thing as Karma

Even if people wish with all their heart there was.

[Fovea]

16. If Karma is in your mind.

Dharma will be in your hands.

[Joanne98]

13. That was my first thought too. Watch Obama ask the Republicans,

in the spirit of bi-partisanship, who they think should replace her.

Sorry. I just thought I'd bitch about it before it happens!

:cry:

[Horse with no Name]

18. If that happens

I would like to see the millions that were in the streets at the Inauguration be in the streets protesting.

[SoCalDem]

17. The evil ones die a quiet death..in their sleep..after a nice dinner & some fine wine..at 90

no justice:(
