A great deal of the damage the left has caused to America has been through their using the Supreme Court. The next 4 years will bring 2 or possibly even 3 new Supremes. If Obama stays in office, they will be more Sotomayers and Kagans and we can just throw in the towel with an enormously “progressive” Supreme Court for decades.

Antonin Scalia, age 76
Anthony Kennedy, age 75
Stephen Breyer, age 74
Clarence Thomas, age 64
Samuel Alito, age 62
Sonia Sotomayor, age 58
John Roberts, age 57
Elena Kagan, age 52
Romney named Robert Bork the head of his Judicial Advisory Comittee. Jay Sekulow is also a Romney advisor.
“Mitt Romney deeply understands that the rule of law and the integrity of our courts are essential components of our nation’s strength and must be preserved. He will nominate judges who faithfully adhere to the Constitution’s text, structure, and history and he will carry out the duties of President as a zealous defender of the Constitution. We fully support Mitt Romney’s campaign and look forward to working with other members of the committee as we advise him on today’s pressing legal issues.” (Judge Robert Bork in joint statement)

Unfortunately, the gop has a less than stellar record when it comes to scotus appointments. Burger, oconnor, souter, and roberts to name a few. That the demonstrably liberal willard might appoint some scotus justices that are less horrible than what hussein would appoint is hardly a ringing endorsement. And it also avoids asking the harder question. Specifically, why is a country 300 plus million being effectively ruled by the dictats of 9 unelected bureaucrats?
