The Supreme Court.. the juggernaut that drives the Right crazy..

[Peacetrain]

If you ever listen to a fringe rightsider for more than 10 minutes.. they will go in this order.. the damned Democrats, the damned Media, the damned Unions.. and then they get to the real source of their hate.. the Supreme Court.

The thing the fear the most. Legislating from the bench, their rally cry, right after cutting taxes.

That Supreme Court, that can nullify their shenanigans ... (or if they get their people in).. support it..


The Supreme Court.

Nixon got to nominate 4 or 5..

Kennedy I think two.

Reagan three..

Old Bush two,

Clinton two..

Bush the younger two.. (and did not get to nominate his first till 2005)

Now Obama.. hmmm, a few months in and he already has one confirmed. How many more could he get on the bench?

My guess is a total of four.

It has the right going buggy.

Some times you just have to stop and smell the roses. Think of it.. If we got four in..Now that would be a coup

1. My guess is one of the five the Right Wing depends on will go soem time during Obama's admin.

Scalia and Kennedy are both 73.

3. Sotomayor may actually be pretty far left on economic positions. See here:

...

In a way, Sotomayor already has jumped into the business docket in her brief time on the Court. During a special reargument Sept. 9 in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, a dispute over the ban on independent corporate expenditures in political campaigns, she made a comment that intrigued the business bar. Sotomayor wondered aloud whether it was "the Court's error to start with" to imbue corporations with "human characteristics," including rights accorded to individuals. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia also chimed in, and editorials and other commentary have followed.

Sotomayor is questioning aloud the very foundation of corporate personhood. That's a plus in my book. For too long, that issue has been sidestepped by the Supreme Court since Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad.

5. I really really hope so.

We need some common sense on that court.

4. More women. More minorities.

More Liberals.

Oh the HORROR!

Maybe the Supreme Court will start to look more like real AMERICA rather than a bunch of old white guys. . .
