    Even had Scalia participated they still would have lost.

    Well, its good but its also ‘crumbs’ in a way,
    in my view.

    To me, its like ordering Godzilla to avoid
    stepping on orphanages. Well, thats nice.
    Its good that Godzilla will now avoid stepping
    on orphanages, as he continues to destroy democracy, civilization,
    and the biosphere. YaY.

    One wonders, btw, exactly what it would take
    for Clarence Thomas to vote against a Corporation.

    Do you have any opinion on Obama’s pick for the S.Ct ?
    Do you think the Reps will block the appointment
    or will they give in?

    The Republicans will do whatever they think is in their best interest. If polling shows their blockade is hurting them in the general, they will approve the guy sooner, but my guess is that they will wait to approve him in the lame duck session.

    I haven’t read any opinions the guy has authored but he’s reported to be -hold your nose-a “centrist”. I think the Republicans will do what’s necessary to hold off any confirmation hearings until the election-unless of course there is a huge backlash.

    Speaking of the Supreme Court there’s a pretty good book I recently read by Jeffrey Toobin titled “THE NINE” (Inside The Secret World of the Supreme Court)

    No one “holds their noses at centrists.”

    What we have actually said, instead, is that it’s a position among others with its own biases and tendencies. The thing NOT to do is pretend it’s just natural “truth.” It is simply one position among others, and rhetorical disguises don’t cover that fact up very well.

    That’s not an attack on centrism, it’s a critique of the rhetorical disguise which equates it with “natural basic truth.”
