Responses:

is he a conservative or liberal judge? -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 19:04 8
- On the current court he tends to side with the more liberal Justices. An Obama replacement - TWuG Apr 30, 19:09 6
  - IIRC history says that, over time, conservative judges tend to soften their views as they age -- nm - con_carne Apr 30, 19:16
  - yeah, it's unlikely for the court to get much more liberal in his term. - Reagen Apr 30, 19:12 4
    - This is one of those moments where I am impressed at the Canadians' knowledge of our government. Pretty cool. :) -- nm - con_carne Apr 30, 19:17 2
      - not to sound like an elitist (which I totally am, but that's not the point), but it's far from universal. - mafic Apr 30, 19:19 1
        
        Oh, of course. I meant *ST* Canadians -- nm - con_carne Apr 30, 19:21
    - Now, if Obama gets a *second* term.... -- nm - TWuG Apr 30, 19:16

"ohhh! not Souter!" -- nm - mafic Apr 30, 19:04
*lawyering sense is tingling* -- nm - Jack Dawson SI Apr 30, 19:03 2
- Depends if they can find a crippled black lesbian judge. -- nm - Reagen Apr 30, 19:05 1
