The result of your brilliant strategy would be that the next President, maybe a Democrat, would get to fill the vacancy. It would then be appropriate to blame you for the fact that the liberal justice was sitting on the court for the next 30 years or so, just as you blame Republican presidents for their appointments when the Democrats control the Senate, most of which are still preferable to the Democrats' appointees like both of Clinton's who voted against the Boy Scouts.

It sure seems like we go round and round in circles on this point. Just to clarify perhaps my previous posts and replies haven't been hard enough on the Democrats. I blame both Democrats and Republicans for the Supreme Court we have today. Unlike some of my left-wing friends in the Libertarian Party I do not think Reagan was the worst president ever and as I have said in a previous reply I actually have a great deal of affection and respect for most Republicans, including our current President and his father.

Also as I have pointed out on many posts lately it's time for the Republican Party to behave like the business that it is. When you lose customers to your competition because they're providing your customers with something you're not giving them the solution is to give your customers what they want or at least more of it. The solution is not to attack the motives, patriotism or morals of the customers who have left you for your competitors as too many people on Free Republic do. I have never attacked the patriotism, morals or motives of the politicians I have mentioned in my posts. If I have done so in your opinion or anyone else's here please point it out to me so I may apologize accordingly.

I have attacked and will continue to attack their policies and their tactics/strategy. I believe those are all fair game.

My only real point is that it matters whether the Senate and White House are Democratic or Republican. Nothing you've said so far has really been able to refute my point that there are Supreme Court decisions which would have gone the other way. The BSA was one of the more high profile ones but there's been quite a few others too.

You continue to hold to your position that it makes no difference which party is in power. If you think the liberals on the Supreme Court are also right alot of the time, which I absolutely do not, then I could understand your point. What are some SC decisions where you were on the side of the liberals?
