Ronald Kessler with Newsmax has a good piece on Obama and the courts – and how fast the changes could happen. An excerpt:
Because Democrats dragged their heels on President Bush’s judicial nominations, 14 seats are open on appeals courts or will be by the end of January. Democratic nominees now are a majority on only one of the 13 federal appeals courts, the ultra-liberal U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco. Within four years, Obama could name enough judges to give Democrats a majority on nine of the 13 appeals courts.

I am a big Mark Levin fan and agree muchly with this comment re: Biden:
I think Biden is a great pick … for the McCain campaign. Biden has run for president a few times and has never caught on in his own party. He dropped out after Iowa this time around.
And when we speak of foreign policy experience, in Biden’s case we are really speaking of his serving many years on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with precious little useful to show for it.
Biden’s greatest role was on the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he trashed originalist nominees and promoted extreme activists. McCain & Company should hammer this. Biden has spent 30-years radicalizing the judiciary.
