1. Its seems like he's kind of fallen off the edge world and been swallowed by dragons. I haven't |
|
heard a whole lot about him the past year.

If you're going to say he's your choice, perhaps you should start the discussion?

Only in today's tweeting, I-must-tell-everyone-what-I'm-thinking-at-the-moment-I'm-thinking-it-because-my-opinion-is-so-much-more- important-than-anyone-else's would a post be criticized for soliciting the opinion of others . . .
Interesting.

I would like to see some one in his/her forties get the nomination, maybe age 50 tops. We need a progressive who is going to be on the court a long, long time. We can't keep having Republican presidents putting reactionary justices 50 and younger on the court (Scalia, Thomas, Roberts) While appointees from Democrats are 55 and older at the time.

9. My choice: Asher Heimermann, because we need a young justice who will be there a long time |

10. Well, he seems like a decent enough chap, but when you say "young |
|
justice," it does seem he's a bit TOO young. http://www.todaystmj4.com/features/specialassignment/45608727.htmlNot saying he isn't a good person. He's just, you know, awfully young.

but, quite frankly, six straight men on the Court is plenty.
I would prefer other perspectives.

14. We definitely need African American representation on the Court. |
|
We sure don't have it now.

15. the ideal candidate would be |
|
a 35 year old Barbara Jordan.
Unfortunately, there is no one currently who lives up to that billing.
