In reply to the discussion: Considering what's at stake, can we put the Obama criticisms on hold until after the election? [View all]Pab Sungenis
(9,612 posts)They are not as bad as W's appointees, but they are worse than the people they replaced. And since at least one of the three Justices likely to step down next term is the only Justice who consistently voted more liberal than even Souter did, I want some assurance that we're not going to see another Third-Way, anti-gay, "moderate" take her place.
And at what point did I ever say I was considering voting for a Republican President? I've consistently said I'm voting for Obama. But either way, the Supreme Court is lost for at least 30 years. Obama moved it to the right and will probably continue to move it to the right. Romney would most likely do the same thing.
My point is that if you really want people to vote for Obama, don't keep telling us that the reason to do so is the Supreme Court. Obama already fucked up the Court for the foreseeable future. Give people reasons to vote FOR Obama instead of AGAINST Romney.
