It does make a difference. Supreme Court appointments can last decades. 3rd party won't stop that.
What makes you think that Romney would make conservative supreme court appointments? I don’t see ANY indication of that, none at all. I don’t see any indication that Romney would be one bit better than Obama any issue, and possibly worse.
If we can take back the Senate and hold the house, we might be better off controlling both houses of Congress under Obama, than we would be controlling both houses under a Mitt Romney.
Here’s Romney’s record on judicial appointments -
Governor Mitt Romney, who touts his conservative credentials to out-of-state Republicans, has passed over GOP lawyers for three-quarters (75%) of the 36 judicial vacancies he has faced, instead tapping registered Democrats or independents – including two gay lawyers who have supported expanded same-sex rights.
Of the 36 people Romney named to be judges or clerk magistrates, 23 are either registered Democrats or unenrolled voters who have made multiple contributions to Democratic politicians or who voted in Democratic primaries, state and local records show. In all, he has nominated nine registered Republicans, 13 unenrolled voters, and 14 registered Democrats.
Even a liberal outfit like the Boston Globe saw the obvious hypocrisy in Romney’s appointments.
