"Because federal judges receive lifetime appointments... |
|
and often serve through terms of multiple presidents, it behooves a president - and benefits our democracy - to find moderate nominees who can garner some measure of bipartisan support."

1. Hey Obama,why stop there. Let's just nominate conservative judges. |
|
That way, they will be happy and we can just smile and make nice. We can't rock the boat.
Change. Hope....Yeah, right!

2. You do realize that all the 'liberal' justices now serving on the SC |
|
were appointed and approved as being moderates.
Oh, never mind.

3. I hate to differ, but the right wing radicals the bushes put on the courts |
|
sure worked out well for them. The courts have been manipulating our election to the right ever since.
So unless there is some pressure from the left, we will continue to move to the right. A moderate influence wont move the courts to the center. It will just make them little less radical. Big deal.
