Sorry Big O,
Normally if I can keep the count on fingers and toes I'm OK. I do know the number of Supreme Justices... 9 as you pointed out...that should have been 3-6...just having a bad morning! Thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow.
I'm just glad the founding fathers had the wisdom to seat and odd number of judges.

Justice Souter was seated by the original President Bush and ended up being quite the shock to the Conservative Republicans. I am not sure of the actual record but I do know that he leaned liberal on many things. Since he already alligned with the Democratic agenda on many issues, maybe we don't have too much to worry about.? I don't know where he fell on the controversial D.C. gun control case, but if he voted with the Dems and is replaced by a hardcore Dem, we should be fine for at least a little longer. It is a good time to start seriously researching our votes. As sportsmen and women we should start paying close attention to where the candidates stand on gun issues and the like.

Souter voted against the decision made in the D.C. v. Heller gun control case. He also votes with the liberals on most other issues. Having him replaced with another democrat won't really change the dynamic of the court. The only downside is that Obama will likely appoint someone young who will be there forever.
