Obama needs to pick the youngest reasonable choices he can for SCOTUS nominees.
and he needs to make them liberal choices as well.

We need to get our Supreme Court back!

4. Obama will do what he said and pick justices like Souter and Ginsberg
And this guy is smart, has taught Constitutional Law, and President of the Harvard Law Review. I'm sure he knows to pick younger justices and not older ones.

I sometimes think people think Obama is some wide eyed fool.

10. Stevens probably and Ginsberg if she can't kick the cancer.
But if she can kick the cancer it appears that she intends to stay on a few more years.

11. You are darn tooting correct.
Let's have some liberals in the court to balance all those conservatives.
