There is no way he'll get someone as liberal to replace JPS. The Right would never allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 i know you guys refuse to believe it, but Obama has been very centrist. JPS was the pillar of the left on the court. Obama will not propose a very left figure for the court. So it once again becomes more right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JorgeFabregas Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) Obama is the most radical president evah, and yet by all accounts he won't appoint someone as liberal as a Ford appointee. I'm guessing Elena Kagan, but what do I know... Edited April 9, 2010 by JorgeFabregas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I want someone picked whose a hardliner against extrajudicial executive powers such as the US citizen assassinated by the Obama administration.

It's also sad that you don't even realize a Republican put Stevens on the court. Point 1: Yeah, like Justice Roberts, who really did a show with that "I'm a centrist" and "I respect precedent" thing in his confirmation. Point 2: Yeah, Stevens started in 1975. Doesn't mean he wasn't by far the most liberal member of the court. Point 3: If you think that nothing has changed since the 1980's in the vetting of these candidates to make sure that a Republican isn't appointing a Democrat or vice-versa...you're simply wrong.
