Elizabeth Warren Potential SCOTUS Pick? - ABC News I think she would be an excellent candidate to replace Stevens.
To the victor belong the spoils, so Obama can nominate anyone he chooses. I just hope both parties realize the people of this country are more moderate than the elected officials "supposedly" representing them. I tend to believe the average-American is much further to the right than Obama, Pelosi, and Reid so I hope the eventual selectee doesn't represent the far-left ideology. I also hope the next member interprets the law and NOT attempt to write it. Call me an alarmist but I just feel the country is slipping away. I hope we don't fill the seat with another person who believes we should become Europe.
So he replaces a liberal judge with another liberal judge. Not a big loss there. I just hope Scalia can hang on till this pos is out of office. I'm sure he will be writting opinions from a hospital bed on life support before he would let neauxbama replace him with a leftie. At least I hope so.
I love when conservatives claim the don't want "activist" judges, what they really want activist judges who are on their side. They had no problem with the "activist" ruling on campaign finace laws, which overturned about 50 years of precedent. But on topic, this won't change the court's makeup, so I don't see where it's worth a lot of energy expenditure by republicans.
What is your definition of an alarmist? The problem with this forum is no one defines any of these terms or where they stand. People are all over the spectrum, it rally makes for a bloody mess!
