Supreme Pick
by digby
Here’s an interesting post at SCOTUSBLOG on the Supreme Court choice, dissecting each issue area and how a new justice could tip the court’s decisions one way or the other with Stevens’ departure. Since there are two fairly clear ideological camps, with Stevens firmly in liberal side, the effect is fairly subtle although it obviously depends upon the relationships forged among the judges, temperament, changing ideology. Still there are some areas worth looking at, and some are fairly unexpected.
