John Paul Stevens, a very liberal justice and the oldest will retire soon I am sure. Ruth Bader Ginsburg another liberal is the next eldest and may also retire during BO's presidency.

It's a sad day for abortion foes. How so many Americans and Christians can cloe their eyes to the 70 million babies slaughtered over the past 26 years is perplexing. Its so engrained into our culture we act as though it is no big deal.

We had a chance to finally get a conservative majority and we lost it with the election of BO. My only hope is he nominates someone he thinks is liberal and pro abortion only to find out they are not. It has happened to several GOP presidents only vice versa.

I am confused as to where this comes from. We recognize that despite all the talk, the GOP has been appointing Justices that upheld Roe v. Wade. I've heard every justification in the book for this. We then get a candidate who is more liberal than the average GOP candidate. When directly asked about Roe v. Wade, he says in plain English that he does not feel compelled to appoint Justices who would overturn it. He said that it would not be a factor....yet we still somehow cling to this notion that if we keep voting Republican, it will magically change.
I heard a Republican governor say something yesterday that I've been saying for a while. He said the problem is that the GOP talks one way and governs another. The only way that is ever going to change is when people take the blinders off and hold them accountable for what they actually do and not what we desperately hope and pray they do.
