The ruling judicial oligarchy has decreed that the actual text of the Constitution, the intent of the drafters, 2,000 years of western civilization, logic, common sense, and all known rules of statutory construction are all utterly irrelevant. The Constitution now says whatever the hell 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices want it to say.
Four of the current Supreme Court Justices (one conservative, one moderate, and two far left wing liberals) will be over 80 years old next year. Of the remaining five Justices, two are young far left-wing liberals appointed by Obama and one (Roberts) is at best a moderate. If even three of the four octogenarian Justices are replaced with young liberals then a far left-wing oligarchy will be ruling the Court and every aspect of our lives for the next 30 years.
On the other hand, we need to replace all four of the octogenarian Justices with truly conservative Justices to take back the Court. Historically, Republican Presidents have batted no better than 50/50 picking conservative Supreme Court nominees.
Reagan gave us Antonin Scalia (a conservative), Sandra Day O’Connor (a moderate) and Anthony Kennedy (a moderate on most issues but a far left-wing liberal in any case involving homosexuals).
Bush Sr. gave us David Souter (a liberal) and Clarence Thomas (a conservative).
Bush Jr. gave us Samuel Alito (a conservative) and John Roberts (sometimes conservative, sometimes moderate, sometimes liberal, pretty much depending on which way the wind is blowing).
Democrat Presidents on the other hand always pick reliably far left-wing Justices.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
The typical U.S. voter today is, sadly, way too easily influenced by the enemedia.
Thank the 17th Amendment.
