In your rush to disagree, you didn’t see any need to research your position. You just declared the opposite as though it had equal merit. And when you’re proven wrong (as on another thread) you point out the “IF” as your qualifier.

Look, you are entitled to your opinions. And you are entitled to disagree with absolutely every comment I make. Literally every single one, if you like. And, Priya, sometimes it really seems to me that this is your favorite passtime.

But while it is annoying to have someone constantly just disagree, on everything, it’s doubly annoying that you don’t even have the courtesy to do the research before you announce that I’m wrong.

You do understand why that annoys me, right?

It’s true that Republican judicial apointees sometimes end up voting liberally, but how often do Democrat judicial apointees end up voting conservatively? Not very often, I imagine.

He will be vague and ride the fence, feigning empathy toward gays in an effort to gain support, but he will NEVER, EVER oppose the GOP Party Line.

Remember McCain vehemently opposing Bush Tax Cuts, but then when running for the GOP nomination he flipped like a pancake?

History suggests that judicial appointments are about as predictable as next year’s weather. As I sit here thinking, to the best of my recollection most every major judicial advancement we’ve had has been authored by a Republican appointee from Margaret Mitchell to Kennedy to Walker to Ware (whose decision on judicial recusal is probably much more important than we are noting).

I understand your point (Scalia, Thomas) but it just isn’t as straight forward as that. And we just don’t know that Huntsman would select a Scalia instead of an O’Conner.

“Go sell crazy someplace else, we’re all stocked up here”.

Not to mention, he outright said that gay couples should get a “subordinate” designation. At least he’s honest about his desire to have a second class citizen legal status for gay people. Obama hasn’t yet found the courage to admit that that is what he believes too.
