Speculating On The Next Supremes

No, Diana Ross ain’t getting together a new group. (Rats!)

I’m talking about who the next nominees to the Supreme Court will be.

HERE’S AN ARTICLE THAT GOES INTO THE SUBJECT IN-DEPTH.

As well as surveying the recent selection of Court members, which presidents did well in getting what they wanted, which did poorly, and how Bush seems to be imitating the habits of the former presidents rather than the latter.

There’s still cause for worry here. It’s not yet clear that Bush will pick folks willing to overturn The Most Horiffic Decision In Supreme Court History.

But the signs are much, much better than they would have been otherwise.

The story is particularly interesting for those who aren’t familiar with Supreme Court history, but even for veteran Court-watchers, it’s got an intriguing look at how recent presidents (including Bush) are going about the process of picking nominees.

  1. Then, a Court generally loath to stray too far out of step with the American public — whether on abortion, affirmative action, gay rights, or terrorism — could decide that stability is highly overrated.
    When has this court ever been “loath to stray too far out of step with the American Public?” I have seen very little evidence of that.

  2. I think that’s just media speak for “we’re getting ready to bring the supreme court down if they try to take our precious abortions away”.
