The US Constitution

[Grace]

If the Democrats win the White House and a super majority in the House and Senate, the outlook on SCOTUS could be very much changed and the hard left leadership can pass whatever they want. Its not just about who wins the White House this time around..

Not necessarily. SCOTUS right now is divided 4 - 4 - 1, the 1 being Anthony Kennedy.

IF Obama is elected, he may have the opportunity to appoint 2 - 3 Justices. However, the 3 most likely to leave would be Stevens, Ginsburg and Souter - so the overall makeup of the Court would not change.

IF McCain is elected, then the Court could change dramatically.

From what I remember McCain has stated over and over he would appoint strict constitutionalists to the SCOTUS. How would that be a dramatic change?

This thread is a EXCELLENT example of why we NEED a viable 3rd party.

Sooner or later, states will start seceding again. And justifiably so.

Please do not misunderstand me... I do NOT want it to happen.

But the federal government already FAR exceeds its mandate. Sooner or later, I fear they will leave certain states only two choices....

Certain states - such as Alaska and Vermont perhaps?

Can we choose which states we throw out?
