I am not sure how I feel about Stevens retiring...One thing I feel is you can't find a bigger liberal them him to replace him so that is good.......There is also a lot of pressure on Obama to pick a moderate...Don't forget mid terms elections are coming up and dems are in big trouble as it is.......
LOL. Why do you think there is pressure on Obama to pick a moderate?
If anything...there is pressure on him to pick someone who is actually liberal to replace Stevens, another liberal. Sotomayor was a moderate pick, Obama played that one safe. I expect him to play this one probably safe as well too and wait for Ginsburg to leave to pick his Liberal justice. However, being that Obama is moderate himself, its not likely that he will pick someone that is too far left-wing...but we can hope.
