This is the most important reason to send McCain-Palin to the White House and keep Obama OUT.

The more threads we have on this topic, the better. In the immortal words of the A-1 Steak Sause commercials, “YEAH, IT’S THAT IMPORTANT!”

Why can’t we admit the Constitution made a mistake and start electing justices?

In July 2007, Obama said flatly at a Planned Barrenhood event that he would appoint only justices who have empathy for pregnent teens, gays, minoritys, the discriminated, etc. - in other words, justices who will not side with white, Christian, Republican, traditional, or conservative beliefs of ANY kind and who will legislate activism from the bench.

The Supreme Court is an extension of the President. As a matter of fact, the Supreme Court is more powerful than the President and both houses of Congress combined.

“This is the most important reason to send McCain-Palin to the White House and keep Obama OUT.”
My feeling precisely, as I have given up on Congress and the Presidency at this point.

Fortunately, Roe is the ONLY case the other side knows enough about to cite for the lib side.
And the idiots still can’t explain how all these pub presidents have had NO IMPACT on ROE.

Supreme Court and union card check law will be the biggest domestic “legacy” of an Obammy term.

Affirmative Action. The idiot was the first editor of the Harvard Law Review never to publish a piece of any note during his tenure.

There is no doubt that Obama, if he were to win, would be given great leeway in appointing the 4 liberal justices of the court. All of those currently serving would retire to accomodate Obama’s selections. Stevens is old, Ginsberg is sick, Breyer and Souter would be encouraged to step aside for very young replacements.
This will be possible because the dems will have 55+ votes in the Senate if Obama wins, and there are a minimum of 5 Rinos.

Why give up now? Did you see McCain’s rally in Albuquerque today? He NAILED Obama on pretty much all the talking points FReepers have been pushing for. A grand slam!

Didn't the dems just say that Bush couldn't use the litmus test as a means of selecting a nominee for SCOTUS? Guess it doesn't apply to obami and his dem followers.

We have that in NY. It's a disaster.

I am also concerned about the possibility, especially if Obama gets elected to a 2nd term, that Scalia and/or Kennedy would pass away or otherwise just call it quits.
