Supreme Court Nominees The Most Critical Issue Obama and Romney Have Not Discussed
Upon leaving office, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was asked what the biggest mistake of his presidency was.
His reply was simple and telling I made two. And theyre both sitting on the Supreme Court. Whereas Eisenhower was relegated to a role of private citizen following his second term in office, his Supreme Court appointments remained on the bench for decades
It is this very reason that many believe that Supreme Court appointments are the most important decisions that are made by presidents during their time in office.
While the presidency is muddled with political battles waged in order to impede progress, the Supreme Court is bound only by the Constitution and federal laws. And, as was demonstrated to us over the summer with the Obamacare health care ruling, the buck often stops with the Supreme Court.

Glad someone finally brought this up. There will be two seats coming open very soon. I have no doubt they will be filled with muslims or those with islamic leanings.

Obama got 58 million votes. Romney got about 56 million. McCain got 59 Million. The paulites, mormon haters, and a scattering of others who love to morally posture stayed home.
The stay at homes just gave us Obama II. Had the ones who voted for McCain voted again, we would have won popularly AND electorially.
You’re right. Romney would have nominated someone like David Souter to the Supreme Court, and within 3 years Souter would have been writing majority opinions that made Elena Kagan look like Clarence Thomas.
I’ll take the “maybe-lib” over the “sure thing-lib” any day. You can take what you want. As it stands now, we will get the “sure thing-lib(s)” on the Court. Congratulations.
