6 of the 8 are from the Northeast.
1 from the West coast.
1 from the South.

The youngest Justice is 55 (Kagan).
The oldest Justice is 82 (Ginsburg).

4 have been appointed by a Democrat.
4 have been appointed by a Republican.

This listing should be of concern to everyone who believes in the sanctity of our constitution. Obama's two confirmed nominees are two of the three youngest members of the court. Unfortunately, they will likely be there for many years.

Now Obama has a third nominee. I just read an article "heralding" the strong possibility that Obama will nominate someone from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (based in San Francisco) or from the California Supreme Court.

The Ninth Circuit is known in the legal community as the "Ninth Circus" because of its often outlandish decisions on social issues. It is also, and has been for years, the circuit most reversed by the USSC. It is completely controlled by radical liberals and non-traditionalists adverse to any relationship between sacred tenets and the constitution.

The California Supreme Court mainly consists of justices selected by Governor Jerry Brown. No more need be said. All should be familiar with the ultra-liberal justices that would come from the mind of "Governor Moonbeam".

And, of course, Obama isn't just looking for a radical liberal justice. He will nominate a young radical liberal who will serve lockstep with Sotomayor and Kagan for, undoubtedly, the remainder years of the lives of most of us.

As I have posted elsewhere, this country as founded, formed, and intended is on the threshold of complete legal destruction. Don't doubt it. Although I pray that God will step in, it is unlikely that He will do so. We have made our own bed. We and our way of life will, most likely, be destroyed in it.
