He held on through the dark years, and is retiring while President Obama's approval numbers are very high. All President's start with high numbers, usually artificially high. The nature of domestic politics erodes the public support steadily through the following years. With few opportunities to regain such high approval.
The timing for this pick is perfect. President Obama can truly choose who he feels is the best candidate without making any concessions to the right. This is his choice to make. I can't wait!
I mean Souter is a good man and I know he would actually uphold the law. But 4 of them I do NOT trust and Kennedy - you never know which way that man will vote
