Affirmative action is actually helping conservatives here. 2/3 of the left bloc, and the two clear affirmative action hires, are just not up to par with the intellectual requirements of the court.

This doesn't help us at all. The left - as always, in conjunction with the media covering for them - has managed to ram through two hyper partisan, hyper political, hyper activist "dumbasses" (your words). For the next - probably 20 for one, and 30 for the other - years, we are going to be saddled with a guaranteed two votes always being totally inconsistent with the actual Constitution, and instead being 100% based on radical leftist activism.
