Today, Scott J entered a new post entitled "What the Stevens
Retirement Might Actually Mean ." In the post, Scott argues that the
real issue with Justice John Paul Stevens' retirement has little to do
with the successor named by President Obama, which will most likely be
ideologically similar to Justice Stevens. Instead, the real issue is
how the retirment affects the internal dynamics of the Court,
especially as it relates to the frequent "swing voter" Justice Anthony
M. Kennedy. According to Scott, Justice Kennedy's often swing vote in
hot-button cases grows even more important with the Justice Stevens
retirement.
In addition, the Arizona immigration law is stirring some hot debate
in the comments section of Scott L.'s most recent entry. Check it
out.
