Retiring Justice Stevens was 2 things: a consistent liberal who's vote usually went to the left and a smart, very smart justice who knew how to persuade some of his fellow justices to vote as Stevens would vote.
With Stevens retiring, it's likely that another liberal or at least left of center justice will fill his seat. But the new person won't have the experience or knowledge in knowing how to work the other justices to join in a liberal opinion.
So it's more than likely we'll see fewer liberal victories and more conservative victories, at least for a period of time.
