The most liberal justice left is John Paul Stevens, and he is 86 years old.
If Bush or, heaven forbid, a Republican successor gets to appoint his replacement, America would be changed forever.
As The Washington Post said this week, "This is a court that could be a single vote away . . . from crippling affirmative action; curtailing, in not abolishing, abortion rights; [and] dramatically lowering the wall of separation between church and state . . . . "
If you wake up one morning and hear that Stevens has died, the most important political day in the last 40 years has occurred.

Well, let's not get carried away. Stay positive. Is he in good health?
one two three he's outathere. Let's go RR.
So Barry you believe in murder? sounds like it to me. Call it what you want but when you abort a baby it is murder!!!!! This Country was founded on the BIBLE!!!!!!!!
RR would be the FIRST to squeel about a loss of individual rights when they take her land for a new walmart. But then again, probably not, she wouldn't know the difference.
This is too juicy. Where to start. I believe there is another "most liberal" judge right behind Stevens. And her name would be Ginsberg. Who by the way, appointed by your man BJ, was the chief counsel for the ACLU. That ought to tell you something right there. If Walmart wants to put in a Walmart in the middle of nowhere and pay me a fair price, have at it. They usually want to place them in high traffic areas. Do you really want to hire someone based on their skin color, sexual orientation or whatever victimhood they happen to be, or upon their job qualifications? Would you want your doctor to perform heart surgery on you just because he was a transexual one legged hairlipped eskimo or actually a board certified surgeon? IF we could get liberals to put soldier uniforms on an unborn fetus, then maybe they would be opposed to abortion, Save the whales, abort the babies.
I disagree with the statement that this country was founded on the Bible. It was based among other things on the idea of indiviual freedom and restraint on government. We have no established religion or political parties. The Bible may have been part of the inspiration, but certainly our war with Britain was not based upon it.
If this country was founded on the bible then why isn't every governmental decision based on mainstream religion? You can't pick to include the bible in some decision and not others.
The ideas of, 'all men are created equal' do not come from the Bible. The Bible is clear that all men are not equal. If you need proof I can surely oblige.
The government of this country has its basis in English Common law and judeo-Christian ethic.
I can assure you that the Revolutionary War was fought more for economic rights than any ideal.
Ha ha - there's still a Kennedy there - not one of the real ones, but a Kennedy none the less. Those Kennedy's - they just keep throwing us for a loop, don't they? RR - I hope Walmart gets your property by that ultimate domain thingy, the gov't builds an 8 lane highway thru it, and some big truck runs over your smarmy-mouthed a$$ - you jerk. Oh yeah, the Bibble - it's just a fairy tale. Wake up people.
reagan rip - that's good stuff there, and quite true at well.
Anon 5:00. Ouch. You are tho thenthitive. Just proves my point. A liberal will not discuss or debate the issues. They just resort to name calling. I am offended by that and will call the ACLU to sue you.
The Bibble?
Barry go to www.wallbuilders.com and read wait he never post a comment! Liberals with no backbone
Anyway go the the web site and see for your self what Separation of church and state really means!
Yes Our founding fathers Believed in Jesus Christ As their Lord!
DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT THE LIBERAL PRESS TELL"S YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Barry, I'm with you. These folks who are so conservative and (angry) - isn't that a nice Christian attitude?.......will change dramatically if the lives of their precious loved ones are affected by these folks who want control - and that's what it is, bottom line - CONTROL. We love that word if it applies to others, but never to those we love.
And note that these folks worship a God who is the same way.
You mess up. You are marked off.
That can change too, when the shoe is on the other foot.
And as for the Bible? Well dear 3:11 not everybody believes the way you do.
Guess what? It is called
F R E E D O M.
Lots of good people fought and died for that priviledge and guess what.........?
They were likely NOT all Christians!
ps. Rip Reagan can't spell
somebody tell this person they are FREE to do a spell check.
Anon 6:48, I think you need to pay close attention to everyone who can't spell. See Anon 5:00. I went to a publik guvernmunt funded liberal indoctrination skool and made A's in speling..Also on your P.S., there should be a period after p. You are officially hired to be the spell checker for this blog. You will have to quit your day job though because I see alot of mispelt words on here.
Doesn't matter what you believe the truth is the truth! Murder is Murder!!!!
6:48 You have freedom because our founding father's Where Christians!!!!!!
Just Want the USA back to the roots! Where it came from the BIBLE!!!!
Jesus said I AM the only way to the Father!!!!!
Its His way! Not mine your's or anybody's way HIS WAY!!!!
The Bible says God created a bunch of people, such as cave men, before he created modern man. Go read it for yourself.
Your right, the truth is the truth. Those good Christians sure did like to murder the Indians and enslave Africans.
It is a fact some founders supported those policies with the Bible.
A liberal does not know what freedom is!!!! Why they will not fight for their country!!!! They do not believe in war. Most liberals do not believe 911 happened
Ya'll should round us up, put us in concentration camps and make us wear a big L on our shirts...that would learn us good!
We will send you to live with your hero Billy boy
Yo Yo Yo, SUP Kingphish?
Lets see a liberal promotes higher taxes right? Sure you do!
A liberal promotes government programs to solves problems! (LOL)
The more programs to solve our problems means higher taxes!
If Bill would have kept his pants on we would not be in the mess that we are in now!
But he was well you know
Its funny how Barry or anybody can talk about us Christians and what we believe but say one word about a lib and its hell to pay! At lest we believe in something!
Libs talk about right wing christian conservatives being so angry. Have you ever gone to dailykos and read their blogs? They are so angry, their tin foil hats glow in the dark.
Liberals only gripe; they offer no solutions to problems. They just criticize. Or else, they feel this country will take care of itself by some "magical" power. No need to fight for our rights, we have them, we are free, it will always be that way, open our arms to everyone, they will surely never change our freedom. DUH.. you think when Mexico takes us over we will have our same constitution? Go ahead, burn our flag that stands for our freedom. Heck...why not just burn up the constitution that our flag stands for? Liberals.. all must be dope smokers...in the land of LA LA! You people ever defend your own homes from lowlifes? Why not let all these illegals come and live in your homes? hmmmmm? Invite em all in... I'm sure they will follow all your house rules and won't be a bit intrusive. haha Things won't change.
What's good is that we can come on here and rip each other to shreads and still be caring Christians.
:(
So far there seem to be more conservative remarks on this subject than liberal.
If the Supreme Court goes all conservative and gets blogs, discussion groups, etc. banned from the Internet, guess who will scream the loudest!
Im confused....who said anything about murder? I thought the old fart would just kick the bucket eventually.
On immigration, just ask yourself if you were born in Mexico what would you do to get into the U.S? I would swim a river and walk thru a desert. I would risk my life to try and get my family here. I cannot fault anyone for coming to this country. It is the greatest one on Earth. And what would Jesus do if he was a U.S. citizen and I an illegal immigrant trying to make a better life for my family? Send me back to that horrible situation? Or would he be the God I believe him to be and open his arms and welcome me?
All I know about the bible is on the sixth day GOD created man and rested and on the seventh he created woman and nobody's rested since.
What is so interesting about these folks who oppose abortion is that many of them would line up liberals and shoot them all if they could get by with it.
It's interesting how Liberals will "bork" a nominee not only before he's nominated, but before there's even an opening.
The standard repsonse to any candidate for the Supreme Court who is not an activist Liberal: "[The nominee's]America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of government."
They should all just use ditto marks and save the bandwidth. The tactic hasn't changed in twenty years.
Let's face it, Liberals only have one question of a Supreme Court nominee: "Do you support abortion?" Abortion is the keystone of the Liberal philosophy, an amalgam of moral relativism and lack of accountability. If Idi Amin wholeheartedly supported abortion on demand, he would be backed by the Washington Post, New York Times and Ted Kennedy.
Apparently Liberals only have one working internal organ remaining: the vented spleen.
I personally don't think ANY man should be allowed to bitch about abortion. It's between a woman and her God. Period. The Bible does not say one thing about abortion. Whether it is murder or not, is clearly up to one's own interpretation. Plus, lots of people could care less about the Bible, so wouldn't make much sense to base a law on it. Uh oh...that sounded familiar.
The same people that are opposed to abortion are also opposed to public welfare and other programs that directly affect children. So they don't want abortion, but they don't want to help the needy children that already exist. What the hell?
Anon 1:42, If these dipstick immature children having fun sex can't be responsible, why should my tax dollar have to be spent on their stupid decisions and support all of their fun babies? Huh? You seem to care so much about the soldiers that are dying to protect your freedom that you think is the wrong war at the wrong time under the wrong administration. Like I said earlier, if a fetus had a soldiers uniform on, you would be against abortion. I personally don' think abortion is right, or any murder for that matter, except capital punishment, but I don't think the government should make laws for or against it. You said it doesn't say anywhere in the bible about abortion, and it also is nowhere in the constitution that says you have the right to one.
The court needs changing. You overestimate the importance of Stevens. He has served beyond his time.
I've heard it called the bibble too, because it's just man-made drivel. I don't think the other poster was misspelling it - I think they typed it in like that on purpose. Or, maybe they meant to spell it babel, or maybe even babble.
2:39 right on!!!!! about the war and killing right on!!!
Hey, 11:07! Immigration has been a part of the US for YEARS. But when they came, they did it LEGALLY and became AMERICAN. You see these Mexican flag wavers doing things the legal way? Nope..they want handouts, and our country. If they want to be AMERICAN, then follow USA laws and become ONE OF US! ILLEGAL...read the definition. You want to provide handouts? uhhh...what's your address? I'll send em all your way! Legal/Illegal... hello!!
yea maybe changed back to the way the founding fathers intended, when it still worked.
Go reagan rip, reagan rip rip's yall up, and cant stand toe to toe on point's or matter's, all yall can do is name call.
