Justice Souter is an amazing man and will leave President Obama with his first opportunity to begin shaping the Supreme Court as he sees fit. I would have preferred it is Justice Thomas or Scalia had retired. I am confident that Obama will select someone who is a left-leaning moderate to the bench.

Thomas - Scalia - Alito would have to go ..............any or all - to bring us

LONG time to come....................sigh

Hate to see him go. Wish it'd have been a conservative. But at least Obama can nominate and Congress can approve a liberal or at least a centralist leaning left. But it still will not change the essential voting split between the conservative and liberal philosophies in reviewing constitutional issues. Souter almost always voted on the liberal side of most issues.
