After doling out new welfare "tax credits" and other free money to millions, how will anyone from the GOP ever get those peoples' support if they know he will try to stop the checks? He won't be able to stop the checks. The GOP will be painted as evil rich white men trying to take away the "income they deserve".
Worse, if Obama rams through a couple of liberal Supreme Court justices, they will be a curse that keeps on giving long after Obama is history.
And how will "the world" ever accept the US returning to a strong, patriotic position? They won't. They will condemn any return to right values.
It's a whole lot easier to prevent a mess than to clean one up. Go and vote! Prevent a giant mess!!!
The S. Ct. is just the visible portion of what will be rapid Constitutional decay. The Reagan and Bush I era appointees are retiring from the federal district and appellate courts at a much faster pace than the Clinton appointees.
These courts are every bit as important as the S. Ct. because it's where 99% of cases get adjudicated. Very few make it to the S.Ct. Obama will replace these retiring GOP appointees with judges that, like Obama, believe more in "social justice," than Constitutional law. And these appointees are likely to sit on the bench for 20-30 years.
