President Obama has made his first wise choice for the Supreme Court, a Latina. Democrats have a solid majority in the Senate so her confirmation is assured, and the rightwing racists who oppose her are powerless now that Bush has killed the GOP.
Look for several more excellent nominations as President Obama's terms progress and his popularity grows with the planned elimination of rightwing talk radio and Faux.
I predict at least one gay Justice, and more feminist Justices in a Court that will reflect the changing face of America in the Age of Obama! Asian and Native American Justices will be close behind.
The future of Roe Vs. Wade is assured, the 2nd and 22nd Amendments will be reinterpreted.
I do believe the DCN is a paid Obamabot troll....and a broken friggen record one too...
Sounds like DuNCe is longing for a fascist state what with all his (or her) talk of "eliminating" free speech, or at least speech with which he does not agree, the coronation of a "ruler for life" with his wish to repeal the 22nd Amendment, and his desire to deny citizens their right to bear arms...
What other rights does DuNCe wish to attack I wonder...
Never mind, DuNCe has merely proven once again that nothing heposts is worth the time it takes to read it...
Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity.
We also have several Rushbot trolls on here.
Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.
Which of the conservatives on the SCOTUS do you expect to resign in the next 4 to 8 years?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I hope his next apt is a lot more liberal.
The stone that the builder refused
Will always be the head corner stone
You'd better hops his next appointment is a liberal at all.
But he's a centrist .. so I give you one guess one which side his pendulum will swing on his next appointment.
Sotomayor ain't all that liberal. She's a firm defender of corporate interests.
Are you starting to get the picture?
The plutocracy figured out how to control Americans after the debacle of Bush .. which they contolled.
They control you with faces my brother.
A black face and a hispanic face .. who both dance to the same beat .. the same beat Bush danced to.
They stole trillions of dollars right in front of our faces .. again.
The war on Iraq was only a failure for the people who didn't get paid. For those who got paid, they made more money than any corporations in the history of Man. They also walked away with billions of dollars that just went "missing" in Iraq.
OOOoooppppsss, my bad .. we lost it. .. So what?
Do you know why Krugman nor anyone else who was right about the economy aren't welcome in the Obama Administration? It's because they don't dance.
Americans are easy .. because we're dumb .. and cowardly.
You exist in a plutocracy.

AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

Apart from Justice Sotomayor, the only female justice is Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is 76 and has been in ill health.
89-year-old Justice John Paul Stevens won't last much longer, and President Obama is just beginning what will be an unbroken string of elected terms once the 22nd Amendment is out of the way.
Democrats currently hold 60 Senate seats to the Republican's 40.
