EXCELLENT article on importance of this election..

1. This is why Ginsburg should have retired last year.

Something this guy forgot is that if Obama wins reelection theres a chance Breyer would also retire late in his second term, after Ginsburg.

And if Romney wins he likely gets to replace Ginsburg and Kennedy. My guess is Breyer would hold on until at least the president after 2016.

Obama reelected continues the balance of 4 liberals, 4 conservatives, 1 swing vote.

Romney wins gives conservatives complete control with 6 conservatives vs 3 liberals.

3. The other possibility would be

if Scalia died. One can only hope....

8. I know that some people think jumping on the graves of the dead

But Scalia is an asshole.

5. I could see Kennedy retiring even if Obama wins...

He'll turn 76 later this year. I think, in year three of Obama's term, at the age of 79, he would seriously think about retiring.

2. I remember 2000 when certain people supported a third party candidate who said Roe v Wade

was safe. What other issue would ever be decided by the SCOTUS?

4. And for the entire world.

7. And for the entire universe.

9. That is why we must work ever more diligently

to make sure Rmoney gets his ass kicked and we take back the House and keep control of the senate.
