My choice for Supreme Court: Deval Patrick

[Empowerer]

Discuss . . .

[Captain Hilts]

1. Its seems like he's kind of fallen off the edge world and been swallowed by dragons. I haven't

heard a whole lot about him the past year.

[Empowerer]

3. That's a good thing. nt

[mdmc]

2. A very good choice indeed

I like Mario Cuomo myself but Deval Patrick would have my support..

[brooklynite]

4. Unrec

If you're going to say he's your choice, perhaps you should start the discussion?

[Captain Hilts]

6. Gee, did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

[Empowerer]

7. Wow

Only in today's tweeting, I-must-tell-everyone-what-I'm-thinking-at-the-moment-I'm-thinking-it-because-my-opinion-is-so-much-more- important-than-anyone-else's would a post be criticized for soliciting the opinion of others . . .

Interesting.

5. why? n/t

8. Too Old

I would like to see some one in his/her forties get the nomination, maybe age 50 tops. We need a progressive who is going to be on the court a long, long time. We can't keep having Republican presidents putting reactionary justices 50 and younger on the court (Scalia, Thomas, Roberts) While appointees from Democrats are 55 and older at the time.

9. My choice: Asher Heimermann, because we need a young justice who will be there a long time

[saltpoint]

10. Well, he seems like a decent enough chap, but when you say "young

justice," it does seem he's a bit TOO young.

Not saying he isn't a good person.

He's just, you know, awfully young.

11. I love Deval Patrick

but, quite frankly, six straight men on the Court is plenty.

I would prefer other perspectives.

[Empowerer]

12. It would be nice to have a black man on the Court, wouldn't it? n/t

[ruggerson]

13. I would support his nomination wholeheartedly

but there are three or four other names I would prefer.

[Diamonique]

14. We definitely need African American representation on the Court.

We sure don't have it now.

[ruggerson]

15. the ideal candidate would be

a 35 year old Barbara Jordan.

Unfortunately, there is no one currently who lives up to that billing.

[Old Troop]

16. I don't know

He seems more of a go along to get along kind of politician.
