America doesn't need another liberal justice

Constitutional Connection:  Article III - The Judicial Branch -Section 1 - Judicial powers-
"The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office."

Explanation of Connection:   President Obama had to think about a replacement when Justice John Paul Stevens from the Supreme Court decided to retire. He has been considered to be one of the most liberal justice of the past 35 years. The President did say that he had plans to replace the Justice with another liberal justice. The replacement of a Supreme Justice is a very important and can have very serious consequences for cases that go to the Supreme Court.

I think that the Supreme Court should have a balance of liberal and conservative Justices. This is important to have a balance of different ways of looking and thinking about cases that come to them.  If all the Justices were conservative then all cases would have a specific outcome. There has to be some discussion before a verdict is decided.
