How do all of you dead-ender Freepers think you will feel four years from now if Obama leaves office with a 6-3 liberal supreme court that will destroy your nation and constitution for multiple generations. When the checks are removed from the socialists in government there will be no coming back. 2016, 2020, won’t matter, Your awesome new “Conservative 3rd Party” or your tea party takeover of the GOP won’t matter. Even a dream wave of conservatism and revival of limited government, 70% tea party America could not overcome a 6-3 Kagan Court.
Pretty much the same way I'll feel when and if Romney does the same thing, just like he did in Massachusetts.
As opposed to a 6-3 liberal majority on the court appointed by Romney?
Romney has appointed liberals at a 6:1 ratio in MA.
6:1 ratio.
You’ve left us conservatives with no options whatsoever, and bad things always happen to the republican party when they screw conservatives over and they abandon core party planks.
Sometimes that means the rise of a third party, and sometimes, like in 1856 - it means the complete destruction of the party.
Like the Whigs, we have 2 pro slavery parties. 2 parties that support abortion, homosexual marriage and forcing people to pay for health care, and exactly zero parties that support constitutional governance.
One of the pro slavery parties needs to die. By nominating Romney, the republicans have put their hands up and said, “me! Me!” I want to die.
Ahh, the “Vote for Mitt - becuase of SCOTUS” argument.
Baloney. I gave up on The Supremes years ago. Even when they were moderately conservative - they were useless and ineffective.
I may change my mind about them if they overturn Obamacare. But I doubt it.
I know the argument that Romney appointed liberal justices. If you're familiar with the judicial appointment system in Mass, he didn't have many options.
But one thing we know for certain is that Obama will most definitely appoint the most liberal justices he can. There is no question about that. And there is at least a reasonable possibility that Romney won't.
That makes it an easy call.
Romney appoints liberal judges.
Hey, I’m with you pal. I’m voting for ABO. No way is my vote against obama not going to count.
This one will likely be dead, so what is it I am supposed to get all worried about?
