Of course, the teabaggers probably think of Anthony Kennedy as a Liberal.

That’s what I thought, this will be interesting to see the effects over the next decade.

He was a shameless ideologue who rendered shamelessly biased judgements.

IIRC, he’s the one who ushered Bush into office by saying, citing some precedent, that not stopping the 2000 vote count in Florida would ā€œcause harm.ā€ The harm it would’ve caused was to Bush’s chances of becoming president.

Maybe he can appoint himself!

Hey Bernie, I’ll make you a deal. I’ll put HRC on the SC and clear your way to the oval, but you got to return the favor and nominate me. RBG’s been talking about wanting to retire soon, so it’s all good.

There isn’t a strict limit to the number of justices is there? If O did add, he could technically add more than one couldn’t he? IIRC FDR tried adding but couldn’t get it past congress?

Sorry, gov/econ was ages ago & besides, I went to a public school in the states, so I never really learned this stuff…

This is pure applesauce. Or possibly jiggery pokery.

Who will we turn to to create new ridiculous epithets?
