Yep, the Supreme Court and lower federal courts should be of concern to all of us in this next election.

The next president could have up to four Supreme Court vacancies in his/her first four year term. If he/she serves two full four year terms, would be possible that this next president will have appointed five out of nine Supreme Court justices. Father time is marching on, and the current group is aging.

And there are ongoing vacancies in the lower federal courts, due to retirements and resignations.

As of today, Obama has appointed about 1/3 of all the federal judges serving today. There are always vacancies to be filled in the lower courts.

I’m sure the vast majority of that 1/3 of judges are liberal radical ideologues.

Indeed.

Most seem to miss this important part of the election. It is more than the presidency. It is the future of law in this great nation.

In this category there would be no one running for president whom I'd rather see appoint those four than Ted Cruz. By all accounts he is a brilliant legal scholar. He would not nominate a John Roberts or an Anthony Kennedy.
