If who gets to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg was such a worry, don't you think she would step down now while it's assured a Democratic president would be choosing?

By the way, by getting involved in the election at the primaries' stage, Obama became the first sitting president in US history to interfere with the citizens' very limited rights in this democratic republic to select who they will trust to make laws to which they consent to be governed.

Ditto for the head of his NationalEconomicCoun cil. Although appointing LarrySumme rs might have been a bit of a stretch, despite his yeoman work in destroying financial regulation —thus enriching his old boss RobertRubi n and helping cause the Crash of 2008—McCai n could easily have found a JackKemp-l ike Republican “supply-si der” who would have duplicated Summers’ signal achievemen t of expanding the deficit to the highest level since 1950 (though perhaps with a slightly higher percentage of tax cuts than the Obama stimulus). The economy would have continued to sputter along, with growth rates and joblessnes s levels little different from today’s, and possibly even worse.

McCain would probably have approved a failed troop surge in Afghanistan, engaged in worldwide extrajudic ial assassinat ion, destabiliz ed nuclear-ar med Pakistan, failed to bring Israel’s BenjaminNe tanyahu to the negotiatin g table, expanded prosecutio n of whistle-bl owers, sought to expand executive branch power, failed to close Guantanamo , failed to act on climate change, pushed both nuclear energy and opened new areas to domestic oil drilling, failed to reform the financial sector enough to prevent another financial catastroph e, supported an extension of the BushTaxCut s for the rich, presided over a growing divide between rich and poor, and failed to lower the jobless rate.
Nothing reveals the true state of American politics today more, however, than the fact that has undertaken all of these actions and, even more significantly, left the Democratic Party far weaker than it would have been had McCain been elected. Few issues are more important than seeing behind the screen of a myth-makin g mass media, and understand ing what this demonstrat es about how power in America really works—and what needs to be done to change it.

Political parties operate from the top down. There is nothing that the Democrats in Congress are doing that isn't ordered from the White House.
