New York Times:

“The president has narrowed his list to four, according to people close to the White House — two federal appeals judges, Sonia Sotomayor of New York and Diane P. Wood of Chicago, and two members of his administration, Solicitor General Elena Kagan and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.”

i may be; it wouldn’t be the first time.

my comment is not intended merely as a slur, but as an observation, and as a prediction, a hypothesis.

just keep it in mind and test it out from time to time; we have at least four years of this guy to gauge where he is coming from.

oh, and this,

from obama’s acceptance speech to the demo natl convention. i had to go back and check the transcript to be sure i had heard what i thought i had heard:

“…And it is that promise that 45 years ago today, brought Americans from every corner of this land to stand together on a mall in Washington, before Lincoln’s Memorial, and hear a young preacher from Georgia speak of his dream.”

“…to stand together on A mall in washington…”

who calls the washington mall, the campground of american democracy, “a mall in washington”?

our prez, that’s who.

you expect a person who speaks this way to have a feel for the british and colonial governor’s despotism that gave rise to the bill of rights?

to be worried about the abuse inherent in “state secrets”, in “preventive detention”, i.e., ignoring habeas corpus?

to be HIGHLY protective of the bill of rights freedoms?

to repeat, you’ve plenty of time to observe and decide just how absurd my comment is.

WASHINGTON — “As President Obama prepares to replace Justice David H. Souter on the Supreme Court, conventional wisdom says his nominee will have little chance to change the court because all the contenders appear to share Justice Souter’s approach on social issues, like abortion rights.

“But the effect on presidential power could be pivotal. Important rulings on executive authority — striking down military commissions and upholding habeas corpus rights for Guantánamo detainees — have been decided by a five-vote majority, including Justice Souter, on the nine-member court.”
