One thing that we know for sure is that whoever the President chooses for the court won’t support slavery. Whew. Now let’s see if the President has the guts to back up his implied support of banning abortion. Since the President has done very little to earn his reputation for ideological steadfastness, I’ll bet we can determine which side will win based on who pushes the hardest and/or gives him the most money. My guess is that he’ll come out of this with a pick that’s similar to his stem cell compromise of 2001. It’ll piss everyone off, his poll numbers will sink lower, and he’ll be a lame duck all over again.
