You know I respect your opinions and philosophies by now, I hope. My only concern THIS election is that by not supporting the lesser of two weevils (JOKE), you are only considering the FISCAL situation. If any of the Republicans is elected....FOUR of the Supreme Court are over 72 years old. The Republican appointments may take us over the edge as far as loss of rights, to where we may never recover.

On every front, Obama has been a disaster -- Not just fiscally.
As far as the Supremes go, it's lost already, and Democrats are as culpable as Republican
s. Democrats allowed Republican
s to set the terms of the confirmati
on hearings, Democrats let the names get out of the committee and Democrats voted for them.
I'm unimpresse
d with Obama's appointmen
ts thus far. He's shown us exactly who he is in the interim, (someone who doesn't give a chit about the Constituti
on and puts those on the Court who would support expanded executive power, the 'unitary executive'
). It's unlikely any future appointmen
ts by him would restore or recognize the People's rights, especially privacy from government intrusion.
The idea that Ruth Bader Ginsburg is described as a liberal, or that either Clinton or Obama contribute
d greatness of intellect to that deliberati
ve body in their appointmen
ts is farcical. When supporters still held out hope for Obama, believing him to be the agent for change that he pledged to be, more liberal, more populist, Obama put a intellectu
al lightweigh
t bean-count
er and a corporatis
t on the court. If that's who he puts on the court when he had the opportunit
y and before reelection
, then the contempt with which he holds the base, the left, is huge. Obama won't even make liberal or left-of-ce
nter recess appointmen
ts.
I'm really not interested in giving that man another opportunit
y to make a lifetime appointmen
t to the SC.
