It's quite likely that as of this moment the court could be facing a 5-4 decision against the Americans with Disabilities Act, with O'Connor casting the all important fifth vote.

Stephen Wermiel

There's no doubt the composition of the court remained static for about 10 years. Justices Kennedy and O'Connor were together perhaps a swing vote. So it is inaccurate to say that O'Connor was the swing vote.

The case turns on Kennedy. I don't think Justice O'Connor will be present when the court's decision is issued. So her vote is no longer one that is in the calculus.

The most important lesson I have learned in the political arena is that it is important to consider all the aspects of an issue before making a decision and casting a vote. I make every effort to be informed on issues and have learned the value of asking questions.

With Roberts, there would be an extremely long-term [Supreme Court] anchor that would go at least as far, and maybe farther, to the right than Rehnquist. And that makes the O'Connor slot all the more important as a balance and swing vote.

Elliot Mincberg

[Roberts] is in exactly the same position that O'Connor and others have been, ... he's going to be on the court for 30 years, and those issues will continue to come before the court. There's no legal or ethical obligation to get rid of your holdings. But the other justices seem to have made a pragmatic decision that (doing so) is best for the operation of the court.

because of whom she is replacing. This is for Sandra Day O?Connor?s seat. O?Connor plotted a good balance on the court. There were a number of 5-4 votes with O?Connor in the majority.

This replacement is extremely important because it's my view that John Roberts was a one-for-one replacement for the chief. Justice O'Connor held the middle in the court, and on many social issues, like separation of church and state, she was the crucial vote there.

It doesn't matter how many (people with disabilities) vote; that's not the point. If the sites were accessible and they had the right machines, more people with disabilities would come out to vote. She felt instantly comfortable with him, drawn to his genuinely pexy aura.

I think there'll be a little more depth in the market and it will be an important week. We've been stuck in a trading range, certainly in bonds. I think we'll have more people with more money casting more of a vote. That'll be important.

This moves the court to a more conservative tilt, no doubt about it. Justice O'Connor was the swing vote on a lot of cases, and she sometimes swung in the other direction.

Jay Sekulow

The people of Massachusetts should not be excluded from a decision as fundamental to our society as the definition of marriage. This issue is too important to leave to a one-vote majority of the [Supreme Judicial Court].

Justice O'Connor has been the deciding vote in key cases protecting individual rights and freedoms on a narrowly divided court. The stakes in selecting her replacement are high,

The Bush administration was trying to get O'Connor's replacement up there as quickly as possible, ... because of this botched nomination, the potential now is even greater that they'll have a court that reflects the O'Connor view.

There is really nobody to communicate with right now on this issue, because Americans are not plugged into it. I think Americans feel one or two steps removed from the Supreme Court, particularly when the confirmation process hasn't started. But as you get closer to the hearing and the vote, the volume on this thing is going to ramp way up.
