A scary truth about the SCOTUS

I just saw another post about the current make-up of the Supreme Court, and I have to say, we are F$#%ed.

Four of the Nine current justices were appointed by a Bush. That means that their legacy lives on for a long time.

To whit:

Souter, David H. (66) Although he seems to vote his conscience and not the "party line"

John Roberts (51)
Samuel Alito (56)
Clarence Thomas (58)

These guys will likely be on the court for another 20 years.

Throw in Scalia (at 70) and there is a clear voting block of 4 that will always side with the conservatives.

If we lose Stevens (86) we are truly in deep shit.
