Obama is set to nominate someone to the Supreme Court. There’s word on who it could be and what attributes they have but none of it matters.
The media talks of the differences between the alleged nominees but they are all simply cosmetic. Some are saying he might nominate a woman or another minority. But none of it matters because in any way that truly matters we all know exactly who Obama is going to nominate.
I’ll leave it to liberals to be obsessed with skin color and gender. I couldn’t care less.
Solicitor General Elena Kagan is reported to be the frontrunner but I honestly don’t care. Just tell me how old she is so I know approximately how long we’re going to have to put up with her. (She’s 50 so we’ll probably be suffering under her for decades to come.)
Seriously, is there any doubt that Obama will nominate a wacko leftist who will view the court as a throne from which to promulgate their pro-choice and likely anti-Christian ideology? No.
I’m trying to decide which area of Obama’s presidency will have the most calamitous long term effects? His disastrous foreign policy, his socialistic health care bill and crazy deficits, or the liberal judges he nominates to the court? They all seem so equally catastrophic to me tonight that I’m having a hard time gauging. Your thoughts?

The liberal judge(s) he nominates will have the most devastating and longstanding effects. All other mistakes can be corrected with the next White House, but the judiciary is a permanent mistake that will not be corrected for a long, long time.

Whatever he and his supporters touch leaves a stench of brimstone.

I'm with you, Matthew–it's really hard to say. We are still suffering from the effects of Jimmy Carter (1976-80; think about Iran), so I imagine the effects of this disaster of a president will be with us for at least as long, and will be even more wide-ranging.
And John: "stench of brimstone"…I like it. The phrase, that is. Not the stench.

My vote: The whole thing from top to bottom. The whole thing is so interrelated that it is impossible to pick out 1 thing.

I tend to agree with you Matthew. His lapdog judge can be most damaging because she can undermine the most ethical of laws. She can legitimize abuses of executive power. So, in that sense she is more powerful that the other 2 branches and she will persist until she dies. Hopefully, the GOP will not let a pro-death, communist, scum sucking liberal ambulance chaser come close to the vacant bench.

Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if one of his people experienced a true conversion? That's the little bit of hope I can cling to during this administration and it's aftermath!

Two points:
1) Stevens could have retired earlier. He chose to wait until he could be replaced with someone of his ilk.
2) Pray for the health of Justices Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Kennedy, and Scalia.
