The Supremes will look alot the Jackson Five

Caesar’s words from “Battle for the Planet of the Apes” come to mind.
In Obama's world view - the answer is yes. Some are more equal than others... Would not want to be a Jewish straight man up against a Muslim black woman who's gay. Obama's court system would be divorced from justice.
Judges are the ONLY reason I will probably vote for McCain. The Libertarian Party still looks attractive, only because the Republican Party has abandoned me and my Constitution.
My greatest fear is not the makeup of the Supreme Court - we have four relatively young justices who are reliable in their logic and support an explicit interpretation of the Constitution plus one wimp, like some politicians, who goes both ways.
My big fear is what will happen with the justices one and two levels down. There are a lot more of those than the 9 on the USSC and they form the pool a President normally looks to when choosing a new candidate for the USSC.
Additionally, there are many Federal courts trying many cases. Only a small fraction of those cases get picked up by the USSC which is to say that many/most of these Federal Justices are “the law West/East of the Pecos!” Just look at the 9th Circus out in San Fransissysko.

What really eats at me is that I'm constantly put in the position of not voting for or against a candidate but for or against the Constitution. For or against giving up more power and rights. For or against the road to serfdom.
