This is nice (well, sad to see him go), but the Dems are still not gaining any ground, per se, just restocking. In fact, the Dems are one justice away from being in the minority.

Well, if we've learned anything over the past 20 years, if the nominee doesn't share the same ideology of [insert party here], he or she is obviously too [liberal/conservative] and out of touch with mainstream Americans and, therefore, not qualified for the position.

Justice Stevens is the only Protestant on the Supreme Court. Clearly, he must be replaced with another Protestant.

He must be replaced with someone else who wears bowties, the fashion diversity of the high court must be preserved.

R's would be smart to accept Obama's nomination (or at least, not filibuster). that way, they can say "hey we're bipartisan." just my opinion from a completely W/L standpoint.

If I want painfully generic rock I'll go listen to Audioslave. Actually, no, I won't listen to them either.
