Moderate for the Supreme Court
Arlen Specter issued a thinly veiled warning to the President not to pursue a conservative candidate for the Supreme Court. Speaking to Brit Hume on the fair and balanced republican network he said the following:
"... where you have cases like the right to die and whether you're going to execute 17-year-olds, what you're going to do with medical marijuana, it is important to have somebody who is not ideologically bound in one camp or the other on one extreme or the other.
And I think that to achieve what the president wants -- and that is a dignified proceeding and somebody who will add luster to the court -- that he's going to try to find somebody to maintain that kind of balance."
Now that's got to piss off the evangelicals. It made my Sabbath.

Is this a good argument to get rid of Ginsburg and Souter?
No.Why would you want get rid of the two judges who do the least amount of legislating from the bench?
Hmm...the eminent domain ruling wasn't legislating from the bench?
Gee, even 9 out of 10 Democrats agree with that...

And yet, Spectre voiced solid approval of Roberts, who has the Left Activists up in arms.
Well regardless, whatever transpires here, people will find some way to complain about it. It is absurd.
