Souter to Retire

[Bonestorm]

And just at the right time. I love that the Democrats have a filibuster-proof majority now. Not that the Republican sanctity for up-or-down votes on judicial nominees was ever in question . . .

WASHINGTON - Supreme Court Justice David Souter plans to retire, after more than 19 years on the court, once the current term ends in late June, NBC News reported Thursday night.

A retirement by Souter, 69, would give President Barack Obama his first chance to nominate a justice and the next few months would bring Senate confirmation hearings. His departure, however, isn't likely to change the court's liberal-conservative composition, because his successor will almost certainly be moderate to liberal, NBC News correspondent Pete Williams reported.

At 69, Souter is not the oldest member of the court. He has indicated in the past that he wanted to leave Washington and return to his native New Hampshire. Souter's early signaling of his intention to step down is almost certainly a move to let the White House get prepared to nominate a replacement, Williams reported.

My early guess is Cass Sunstein. Whoever it is better be the liberal equivalent of Scalia. I don't want a goddamned "moderate."

Good point and we will likely have President Hillary in a bit over 7 more years anyway.

I'm trying to think of something that would be more epic.

sad. liberals don't give a fuck about the constitution or rule of law anymore. they just want a sitting body to rule and decide the way they want them to. that's the reason there will be war and bloodshed in this country.

Gives you ample time to escape and go find yourself a country to live in that doesn't like homosexuals .. IRAN for instance.

What a wet dream that must be for you.

Escape now .. it's only going to get worse for people like you .. HOMOPHOBES that is.
