The Nov. 2014 elections will be very important regarding the future of the federal courts.
And the Nov. 2016 presidential election will be vitally important in that area too. A President Hillary will appoint the same sorts of radical liberal judges which Obama has appointed. Eight years of Hillary after eight years of Obama appointees will send us off the edge in some ways.
The only bulwark against liberal presidents radical nominees would be strong conservatives in the Senate, who can be in the position to reject these radical nominees.
Bears repeating over and over.
IOW, our freedoms depend on who is elected president.
That means we are not a republic.
