Supreme Court

[rockbilly]

There has been a lot of discussion here as to what candidate one might support in this election, I’m not a fan of any of them, but have to agree with the comments by this writer.  This election is very important to the future of America, at this point I think it best to support anyone running against Obama, and I do mean support by going to the polls and voting.

Supreme Court
Political Futures"If Mitt wins the nomination, as seems very likely, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy. For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I'd just ask you to keep four things in mind: Justice Scalia just turned 78, Justice  Kennedy will turn 78 later this year, Justice Breyer will be 76 in August, and Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago. We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one and maybe more new members of the Supreme Court -- in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come. If you don't think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you're smokin' something funky." --columnist Andrew McCarthy

Well go tell Andy M that I'm not smoking anything and I fear any nomination by Romney as much as I would one by O'boy. Romney was Obama's tutor......handed him the blue print for Obama Care, voted for horrible anti-gun laws, flips and flops like a crappie outta water.......no, I really don't want him nominating a justice. He's a cowardly socialist gun grabber...what kind of a justice would he nominate? I'd rather not find out.

Vote for Romney so he can appoint the next David Souter.

About the only thing that can put the brakes to that run-away socialist goal by both would be a Repub majority in the Sernate, and that is a "maybe' only.

As I said, I am not a fan of any of the candidates, my point, regardless of Romney’s past record he still has to be the better of the two evils in a race between him and Obama.

I fear that if re-elected Obama will destroy the constitution and set the stage for the downfall of the country through his appointments.

Bottom line…we are in a heap of trouble with either one of them, but if push comes to shove I will vote for the republican no matter who it might be.

my candidate got kicked out early, but, you are exactly right about possible SCOTUS appointments.    his agenda is total destruction of the USA.

The fate of the Constitution will be determined before the November election.  If the Supreme Court rules that the Obama Care mandate is constitutional, we are done for.  If the government controls the wealth of the nation (16% of the total in healthcare alone), your healthcare, and can force you to buy or use anything they want you are a slave to the government.

that is the very reason the founders put in the 2nd......  when the government starts telling you what to buy, you remove the government.....  then you tack a copy of the constitution to some light poles with the warning "obey it or be imprisoned".

Who do you think would be advising Romney about Supreme Court appointees?  Who do you think Obama would be listening to?  We're really in trouble if you can't figure out which would have the best chance for a good outcome.
 
With Romney, or even Ron Paul, a dud could get the nod--it happens, but with Obama there is absolutely no doubt what we would get.
 
At least with Romney, there is some hope for sensible economic policies; with Obama it is total ruin.

Let me see here........I have a choice between a socialist gun grabber nominating a supreme court justice, OR a socialist gun grabber nominating a supreme court justice, or I can vote for Ron Paul who will nominate a constitutionalist supreme court justice...........DANG! That's tough one isn't it?
