He's a Republican nominated by Reagan. I wouldn't think that nominating another conservative, assuming he or she is an honest and capable judge, would effect the court's current leanings.
 
oh ffs he's going to put that Fox news lady in isnt he?

He's a pretty liberal republican from what I remember. I don't follow politics closely anymore. Repubicans nominated another "turncoat" not too long ago. Man my memory is bad.

The determination to revisit Roe comes amid renewed speculation about the possible retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy, which would give anti-abortion forces their best opportunity in a generation to weaken or strike down the ruling that made abortion legal. The Ronald Reagan appointee has ruled in favor of abortion rights, most notably by switching his vote during deliberations in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a 1992 decision that upheld the Roe precedent.

He is the swing vote and has went left often over the last decade. This is YUGE, believe me.

Wasn't Kennedy the deciding vote on the ACA that determined the tax wasn't a tax but was a fine that wasn't really a fine either when that was in front of them? I can't remember the details but I always thought even though he was a Reagan appointee he was more middle than almost anyone else.
 
We should all chip in and get Ginsburg a nice card or something.

Nope, that was Roberts
 
No wonder he voted so conservative this term. He decided to go back to his roots one last time

What are your thoughts here Alan for a good candidate?

Judge Kavanaugh is the obvious choice. He is a judge on the D.C. Circuit Judge Hardiman from the third is also a great choice.
