What's a Supreme Court "Uniter?"

Senate Minority leader, Harry Reid (D-NEV) in the Democrat's weekly radio broadcast called for Justice O'Connor's "replacement to be someone who will build on consensus and unite the country." He wants a "uniter" on the Court. How in the hell can a Supreme Court Justice be a uniter. Every decision by the Court divides litigants into winners and losers. You can't get more divisive than that.

But here's the gambit: Reid is setting up a "straw man." He really can't define a uniter on the Court, but he sure can see a divider in every nominee the President sends to the Senate.
