Unbelievable that this even COMES before the USSC.

Things like this are why they will not get to hear the birth certificate case(s).
And it was another 5-4 decision. Even one Obama appointment to the SCOTUS will have devastating results to America.
Demonstrating how desperate is the situation with Scotus is the vote, 5-4. Someone convinced 4 of our Scotus justices that the security of the nation takes a back seat to Flipper and Free Willie.
Obama will replace 3 of those 4 with 40 year olds within the next 4 years. McCain is already on record despising the filibustering of justices, so you can bet that he and the other Rinos will roll over on the American people even if Bernadette Dohrn, a lawyer, gets the nod from Obamaland.
I want to know the number to call our government to get a bailout as well. It is INSANE!
Thank god for Roberts and Alito, at least they’ll be there for a while.
I still can’t believe Stevens made it from 80 to 88 under Bush and is still there. What were the actuarial odds in 2000 of both Stevens and Ginsburg still being here in 2008? Just bad luck, I guess. If Bush could have replaced Stevens this loss would have been a lot easier. We were so close to taking the court back fir a generation, overturning Roe and other bad decisions, and now...not so much
we should all pray pray Scalia and Kennedy stay on through 2012. They’re both 72 now not exactly spring chickens. Scalia especially doesn’t appear to getting any thinner.
If Obama replaces one of the liberals that’s bad enough but it doesn’t really change the balance on the court. If he gets to replace Scalia and/or Kennedy, Conservatives will never win an important SC case for at least another 10 years.
Looking back, one of the ture blesings of luck we had was that no SC justices left under Carter, and Reagan and Bush had 6 appointments. Can you imagine if 2 or Justices had stepped down and been replaced by Carter???
