We are SAVED as a nation. The SUPREME COURT, people.
My fellow DUers, we were on a razor's edge in losing our rights and protections.

Barack Obama - CONSTITUTIONAL LAW PROFESSOR - will make brilliant appointments to the Court. Promise.

Ohmigod. We dodged a bullet in so many ways, but the Supreme Court has to be right at the top.

2. Yes, speaking of relief...
Thank God (if there is one) that we have been saved. I hope Barack appoints a lot of young, brilliant justices. We need to fix this country and fast.

I know they didn't want to leave, till they knew they were going to be replaced by a democrat president.

9. Big big stuff.
This is what is significantly important.

Even if we ignored the economic troubles, just the appointments and foreign policy that Obama will deal are beneficial for the WORLD.

11. Also Ginsberg. Even Kennedy. At least three appointments in Barack's first term.
