Following a long string of poor decisions, Obama's choice for a replacement for the retiring Justice Stevens is one that will have deleterious effects for generations to come.
Nominating an Immortal to the Supreme Court is just asking for trouble. They will be there forever unless someone beheads them and will generally rule in favor of laws that benefit the Gathering rather than focus on the effects of laws as they pertain to the Constitution of the United States of America.
In this regard, I do not think Obama could have made a worse choice and it is up to the GOP to fight this nomination tooth and nail.
UPDATE – It was brought to my attention that Obama has nominated Elena Kagan, the current Solicitor General, to the Supreme Court, and not The Kurgan as I had originally thought.
Never mind then.
