The Blithering Idiot's "long" list of SCOTUS nominees includes Chief Justice Hassell

Going where no one else has gone before, here is a list of long-shots to be nominated to the Supreme Court, a so-called "long" list (of names not on the short lists). About Chief Justice Hassell, the BI says:

"Liabilities (as a candidate being considered by a conservative Republican): he's a moderate Democrat. Liabilities (to the Left): he's long been a visiting scholar at Regent University, Pat Robertson's grad school, he dissented from the Davenport v. Little-Bowser decision (compelling the issuance of a birth certificate with two persons of the same gender listed as parents). (See also the Arlington Co. v. White case, where he would have invalidated Arlington County's expansion of health care benefits to domestic partners as a disguised attempt to legitimize same-sex unions.)"
