True, but I was expecting Rehnquist to go later, leaving room for an unbalance toward liberalism.... well either way, I'm not very politial and the lines between whats legal and illegal don't really exist for me

I think there's even the potential for a third!?

One was enough.

Two selections, by ANY President, is a bit scary.

Your right two is already too much, I can't imagine a third... it certainly would be history in the making, and it is certainly possible...

Hopefully it's one of the "liberal" judges. They couldn't make a correct decision to save their lives.

What exactly is a correct decision? Correct in public opinion, correct in your personal views, your towns? I personally believe that they have the toughest jobs in america... but it's one I would be willing to fill. I may not be able to make all the 'correct' decisions but I'd make the one's i believed in. I guess thats all you can ask from a Justice, to pick one with high moral regard and principles and let him choose the law, instead of picking someone on what you think his opinions on certain subjects will be.

Correct based on what the constitution reads.

In the past year, they have fucked one up on medicinal marijuana and one on eminent domain. These were major fuck-ups. Me, being a 3rd year Con-Law/Political Science student could have put together a better decision than them.

I believe in the constitution but it has it's limits. It was near flawless when it was written, the amendments helped, but there are situations and activities in our society today that are completely beyond anything that the consitution could have planned for... I have no solution for this, I didn't know where I planned to go with this post

Eminent Domain

Medicinal Marijuana

Read those two short articles, and then tell me whether they ruled correctly. I bet you'll agree with me that they didn't.

Oh I've read them before and i certainly agree that the wrong call was made... law is not my forte', (however spelled) I'm an engineering/science major, so for me, the laws laid out ahead of me are absolute with very little room for interpretation. I guess I'll have to trust in wiser people elected to positions to do my law making for me... however little satisfaction comes from that, and I'm sure you'll agree to that.

WE need some more Clarence Thomsas! That guy actually realizes that the government is supposed to respect individual liberties. I think there is a good chance that Bush's picks will be better than Clinton's. Hopefully.

Anyway's if you read up you will see that the 'conservative' judges have been far kinder to civil liberties and medical marijuana than the liberal ones. Trust judges who believe the constitution is about liberty, not those who think it is a 'living document' amendable to any political fashion.

Here's an interesting development, Bush picks Roberts to be the next chief justice...

A smart move.

Sandra Day O'Connor promised she would stay on until her replacement was confirmed. By appointing Roberts Chief Justice rather than just making him the replacement for O'Connor, the full slate of nine justices will be available when the court resumes.

Besides, there is little serious opposition to Roberts. He's a certainty to be confirmed. Might as well plunk him into the more contentious position. The Dems will howl much louder at whomever the next proposed appointee will be.

That's an interesting arabesque. I have a more likely one. Elevate Scalia, replace Rhenquist with Roberts and ask O'Connor to stay to replace her with one of the women. Rhenquist was an asshole for staying on too long as it was. The guy was fucking shot at the swearing in. Three hearings, one for Scalia, one for Roberts and one to replace O'Connor. The fucking Dems will be spinning so hard they won't know where to turn to bite next.

Fuck me, I didn't read that as a done deal I thought it was speculation. I still like my idea better but c'est la vie, Rove didn't call. Or my cell was charging. Ah well.
