Yes. I don't see why he would necessarily want a compromise over keeping things sane for a while.

Personally, I'm hoping for a justice in the model of Scalia.
Should the tables have been turned, I doubt the Democrats would feel bad about appointing two radical liberals.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

You don't need to have a specifically identified right to privacy (imho) to have a right to an abortion (assuming the courts or legislatures ignore the rights of the fetus). The Ninth Amendment should be all that is required.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

So instead of overturning it, couldn't they reaffirm it with better reasoning? The right to abortion is a good thing, even if it's based on poor reasoning.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Clinton appointed two moderate liberals (the first justice was appointed when the Dems had an even larger Senate majority than the Reps currently have). In fact, he appointed exactly the two justices that Orrin Hatch recommended.
O'Connor and Kennedy are moderate liberals.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Yes, they're quite moderate compared to the liberal justices of the past like Thurgood Marshall.
And no, O'Connor isn't a "moderate liberal," rather you're a rightwing nutjob."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Republicans have appointed more liberals than conservatives, in appointing Stevens, Souter, O'Connor and Kennedy.
I see no need for them to continue that practice.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
