Conventional wisdom, accelerated by Barack Obama’s Nov. 4 victory, has Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Paul Stevens and David Souter, all on the moderate-liberal wing of the Court, heading for the exits during Obama’s first term. As the theory goes, all three justices would be happier being replaced under a Democrat. But justices [...]

Dobson proclaims himself pro-life. McCain voted to confirm "pro-abortion Stephen Breyer and pro-abortion ACLU activist Ruth Bader Ginsburg" to the Supreme Court, as well as David Satcher as Surgeon General, "who supports partial-birth abortion." Dobson opposes fetal stem-cell research. McCain "voted in support of President Clinton to expand fetal tissue research" and "voted for embryonic stem cell...

Life : Experts agree the next president will appoint the deciding vote on the Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs. Wade and RESTORE legal protection to children in the womb or continue the killing for decades to come. Beyond appointing a junior leftist like Ruth Bader Ginsburg or a younger version of abortion zealot Stephen Breyer to the bench, Obama promised to sign the so-called "Freedom of Choice Act"...

"RENEWING THE AMERICAN DREAM" This time, Roe vs. Wade really could hang in the balance If Justices John Paul Stevens or Ruth Bader Ginsburg were to be replaced by a staunch conservative, that could tip the majority against abortion rights. The Supreme Court's onetime wide majority in favor of abortion rights has shrunk to one: Justice John Paul Stevens, who is 88. Now the decision's fate may depend...

During his weekend interview with Pastor Rick Warren, Sen. John McCain said that if he were president he would have never nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, David Souter or John Paul Stevens to the Supreme Court. McCain wasn't a senator when Stevens was nominated, but why did he nevertheless vote to confirm Ginsburg , Breyer , and Souter ?

The New York Times sent veteran Supreme Court reporter Linda Greenhouse into retirement in grand style on Sunday, turning over to her the front page of the Week in Review for " 2,691 Decisions ," a title marking the number of court cases she had covered during her tenure.

By William Rusher It must be fun to be Justice Anthony Kennedy. You show up for a conference at the Supreme Court and almost always find that four of your colleagues (Ruth Bader Ginsburg, David Souter, Stephen Breyer and John Paul Stevens) are lined up on the liberal side of every ideological issue, while the other four (John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas) are on the conservative...

I can't think of a class of criminal that would warrant being executed more than a child rapist. I am outraged that Anthony Kennedy along with his socialist liberal pals John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer would allow a monster such as Patrick Kennedy to steal one more breath of oxygen rather than to have him executed and sent to burn in hell. From the decision:...
