Souter Out – Sotomayor In?

Here we go!!!!! Now the US Supreme Court will be making laws instead of just interpreting them. (I think it is a iiberal thing)

Um… Jane… he was opposite American Idol, an unstoppable juggernaut. You can’t read ANYTHING into those numbers.
Also, the word is “dropping.”

Obama should consider someone who has held elective office – someone vetted by their own State, someone with a broader perspective on our government. ………….

J. Souter is already one of the left-leaning judges on the SC- nothing should really change now with the President’s new appointment. On the other hand- J. Souter was appointed by Senior Bush when he was President because he was predicted to be a reliable conservative. There is never any way to predict how a Justice will turn out when appointed.

Michelle Obama????

Great…just what we need. A liberal _beaner on the court to give those illegals everything they do not deserve. There are certainly more qualified people than her. This is just more pandering for the _beaner vote by the Dems.

George you are a role model. Keep up the great work. I watch you everyday on World News. In admiration, Nenoo

Whether Obama’s pick is Sonia Sotomayor or someone else, the Center for Reproductive Rights urges him to name a candidate who will affirm recognized constitutional rights, including women’s right to choose an abortion.
With Justice Souter’s retirement, we lose someone who has been a consistent supporter of abortion rights. His departure provides a critical opportunity for the President to nominate someone who has a strong understanding of and voice on the realities of women’s lives and to deliver on his stated commitment to nominate justices with ‘empathy,’ who understand the real life experiences of people.
The last Supreme Court decision, Gonzales v. Carhart, diluted the protections previously afforded to women’s reproductive health. Yet since Justice Souter joined the bench in 1990, there’s been a substantial shift in the acceptance and protection of reproductive rights worldwide. More countries, courts, and human rights bodies around the world have recognized that reproductive rights are human rights. Even countries that have historically neglected women’s reproductive health and freedom have affirmed that women’s health is vital to their societies’ health and committed to justice.

If in the next couple of years the Supreme Court has to rule on Mr. Obama’s eligibility to be president, will his appointee have to recuse herself?

J House: “Rollover”? No, it’s a swing of the pendulum. The pendulum swung to the right in 1980. This time, social change and the publics’ desire to make a break from the incompetence and stupidity of George Bush sent the pendulum swinging toward the left. Deal with it.

Our founding fathers created a constitution that explictly states that the U.S. Supreme Court was not created to have empathy and not created to protect the minority from the majority. It is to interpert the law. What scares me is that the Supreme Court has become a place where politicians have to pass a litmus test to get elected to further a political agenda. Obama is not interested in the rule of law or the constitution. His goal is to abandon the constitution or change it to meet his wants and desires. We are headed to a one-party system where disenting voices will no longer be tolerated. To the liberal media, the ‘ends justify the means.’
