“Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens's latest public musings about retirement highlight the challenge President Barack Obama faces in choosing a successor for the leader of the court's liberal minority. Whomever Mr. Obama chooses, Justice Stevens's departure is likely to diminish the liberals' influence because of the personal and institutional dynamics that define the Supreme Court. As the senior associate justice, Justice Stevens speaks immediately after Chief Justice John Roberts at the court's private meetings, where the justices follow seniority to decide which cases to hear and conduct straw votes after oral arguments. He has used his seniority and influence to shape decisions in cases where he has been on the opposite side from Chief Justice Roberts.”

Calling All Twits

Great, as if we didn't have enough idiocy in the Federal government. The senior associate justice is signaling that The Obama Himself will soon get another shot at dumbing-down the United States Supreme Court.

The Wall Street Journal's editors must be engaging in some sort of cruel and unusual facetiousness in terming the replacement of Justice Stevens as a "challenge". It's not any challenge for The Obama Himself to find another twit to keep his first pick company on the highest court of the land. Such twits are a dime a dozen; sometimes a baker's dozen.

I strongly suggest He consider appointing BFD (Biden F*cking Deal). Biden's talents are wasted as Vice President. He can do so much more damage on (as well as to) the Supreme Court.
