Obama should think twice before appointing an overly liberal justice. To go from Scalia to anything beyond a moderate would lead to too much X imbalance.
Hey now, folks can't have it every which way. Everything happens for a reason. He has a plan. And his plan was for Obama to pick Scalia's replacement. Who are we to question the Almighty?
BPV's thoughts: "one less old dude between me and that Kagan and Sotomayor threesome I've been dreaming of"
A 4-4 decision yields to the decision of the lower court as law, but does not establish Supreme Court precedence.
Or to make sure the world knows another loony free money train liberal appointment would ruin the place, so we get a conservative type and new DC to boot.
Everything that goes 4-4 reverts to the finding of the lower Court but is not Supreme Court binding. It can be reintroduced later.
