I have no problem with Obama's picks thus far, however, when it comes time for SCOTUS

appointment(s), I sure as hell hope the picks are LEFT of center.....George Bush had 2 appointments & both were as far right as you can get.....Had McCain won, you know damn well he would have sought justices like Roberts, Scalia, etc...Of course, he would have had difficulty getting them confirmed with a Democratic controlled senate...

Obama's centrist picks are fine for some positions, but let's hope Obama goes to the left when it comes time for SCOTUS....

1. No more Federalist Society, for one thing. .. . n/t

2. He made it very clear that he would only appoint justices who believe in the right to privacy /nt

3. That's not good enough.

We need more socially progressive, not just pro-choice, judges.

4. Laurence Tribe for SCOTUS

5. 70 year old white men for SCOTUS?

I'd like someone younger than a majority of the current court.

6. well, yeah thereis that

As a Con. Law graduate Assistant, though, I say Larry Tribe rocks!

7. Sure he does.

So do a lot of people. It doesn't mean I want them on the Court. People like Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton (in 1993) were considering Larry Tribe--not Barack Obama in 2009. His time has passed.
