National Review: Souter's Replacement Will Be Conservatives' Worst Nightmare

[Mr. Ected]

We don’t even know who Barack Obama’s nominee would be yet, but already Ed Whelan over at National Review is certain that this unknown person will provide the deciding vote for:

“— the imposition of a federal constitutional right to same-sex marriage;

— stripping “under God” out of the Pledge of Allegiance and completely secularizing the public square;

— the continued abolition of the death penalty on the installment plan;

— selectively importing into the Court’s interpretation of the American Constitution the favored policies of Europe’s leftist elites;

— further judicial micromanagement of the government’s war powers; and

— the invention of a constitutional right to human cloning.”

He forgot confiscation of guns, abolition of talk radio, the invention of a constitutional right to take rich people’s money and, oh yeah, forced “volunteer service.”

1. Hell yeah it's their nightmare!

Welcome to my world during Alito and Roberts. Feel my pain, assholes!!

[MineralMan]

2. Oh, goody! I certainly hope so.

3. I thought you were going to say corporations don't have personhood status.

You aren't talking liberal until you get to the crux of our current problems.
No more lobbying, no more corporations getting rights like people.

[DearAbby]

4. One judge could do all that??

That will be one powerful sombitch :wow:

[MineralMan]

5. Well, I heard that these are some of the bullet points for the

SCOTUS actions once President Obama stuffs it with socialistic libruls:

1. Make abortion mandatory.
2. Forced gay marriage for all unmarried people over the age of 27.
3. All firearms to be melted down and turned into plowshares.
4. Mandatory euthanasia at age 71 1/2.
5. Mandatory public service for all teenagers. They will be sent to Mexico to work in the fields.
6. Mandatory use of the Amero, which will be valued at 10 cents on the dollar.
8. Mandatory purchase of two-seater electric cars.
9. Instructional classes on homosexual techniques, beginning at grade 2.
10. Abolishment of all home-schooling, with those students bussed to inner-city schools.
11. Abolishment of all right-wing talk radio and websites.
12. Limit of one church to every city, and that church will be Unitarian Universalist.
13. Seven to Twenty Year sentences for any prayer spoken in public.
14. Confiscation of all Bibles, which will be replaced by copies of the Koran, in Arabic.

10. does anybody ever demand some sort of proof--WHERe do they come up with this bs?

[MineralMan]

13. Uh...that's an exaggerated list I made up....satire, doncha know.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. Conservatives' worst nightmare is like Al Qaeda #2.

Every week there's another one.

[BlooInBloo]

7. Thus the republican party is reborn: They finally have one of their old standbys to whine about.

[Mr. Ected]

8. To the Victor Belongs the Spoils

It was implicit in the asskicking of the 2008 election.

Obama won. They lost. SCOTUS leans left for another generation.

Game. Set. Match.

[anonymous171]

9. Soo much projection. Europe's elites are the same elites that we have over here.

The rich. And they aren't leftist either.

[ColbertWatcher]

11. That didn't take long! BWAHAHAHAHA! k+r, n/t

[FarCenter]

12. Sounds good, except for the cloning

Why would I want to create a much younger identical twin?

[old mark]

14. No, no - Democrats own a lot of guns now...

for defense against the RW'ers.

It will be changed so that ONLY DEMOCRATS may own guns.

Be a damn better world.

15. Gop is working hard , very hard to put pressure on Pres.Obama.

Psychological warfare.

Make Obama feel guilty and he will appoint someone who pleases
Republicans.

[ellie]

16. I certainly hope so.

[Blue Meany]

17. Hey! How come that guy is still out there posting. I thought he

had been sent to one of our "re-education" camps.

[burning rain]

18. I certainly wish, but NR is hysterical.

This SC nominee will replace a liberal, and there will continue to be at most four liberals on the SC, along with three rabid fascists (Alito, Scalia, Thomas), a mild-mannered fascist (Roberts), and a mainstream conservative (Kennedy).

19. Not To Mention That The Right-Wing Justices Are Neither Immortal Not Invulnerable

The right wingie-dingies have other things to worry about concerning the make-up of the Supreme Court. While Reagan and both Bushes tried to pick younger, healthier right-wing justices, there is nothing guaranteeing that they'll prove immune to accidents or the other hazards of life we all face. (I do NOT advocate violence or mob action, I'm just saying that life is uncertain for all of us--except that almost all of us will leave it feet-first). While it looks likely that Justices Alito, Scalia, Roberts, and Thomas will stay spry and healthy all the way to Inauguration Day 2017, who knows what the fates have in store for them?

Step on a crack, break Justice Scalia's back.
