In reply to the discussion: Nine Companies Tied to PRISM, Obama Will Be Smacked With Class-Action Lawsuit Wednesday [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)89. Reagan/Bush and the bad 5 now are part of them and W. Bush's.
Do you really think Scalia/Alito/Roberts/Thomas are going to overturn the Patriot Act? Or do anything good?
The 4 practically overthrew Roberts for his correct verdict on the great health care plan.
Better to wait til Hillary nominates the deciding vote (most likely Obama will get 2 more, but those will be same side replacements).
Ginsburg said she wants to set the record which will be 2015, Breyer most likely would retire to allow a democratic president
to pick his replacement, and the bad 5 will hold on til Hillary's either a sure shot or in her term.
I predict 2018.
Which is why they would love a quick ruling on all the controversial laws now. But Scalia overturning the Patriot Act?
Why would he?

Yeah, because Al Gore would have nominated Alito and Roberts. And Carter would Thomas/Scalia

I don't give Bush a pass, but I blame protest voters and Nader. NH happened prior to Florida.
