The number one reason why we need to win in 2004! (The Supreme Court)

Sandy O'Conner ain't gonna hang to much longer and I'm betting she's waiting until after the elections to scaadoootal...

Ladies...If you cherish Free Choice, then ya better think seriously about what's to come if we don't win!

1. Massive exodus?

Let my people go!

2. I couldn't agree more

That is why I cannot understand how many people on this forum say that if Kerry is the nominee, they will vote independent. If that occurs, the power shift to the right will last for at least twenty years. Only then will they understand that there was a difference between Kerry and Bush...

7. It's hard to see how anyone could make that mistake a second time.

After the "no real difference between Bush and Gore" notion blew up in our faces so magnificently.

I think a lot of that is sour grapes because people want their preferred candidate to be the nominee instead of Kerry. I hope most if not all will come around when we have a nominee, whether it's Kerry or not.

3. My No 1 reason is to bring the troops home now

November seems so far away. I wish it were tommorrow . as long as that asshole is in power, more kids die.
then Ill be glad for the rest of the pieces of democracy to fall back into place.
If people dont vote ABB, we can kiss all our kids goodbye who are over there. Dont let my son die because you have purist agendas. Its life and death at this point. anyone but bush.
Look, I agree with Kucinich but I know he wont be the nominee..I have to vote ABB...I have no choice..I have to hold Kerrys feet to the fire afterwards also..
just bring my kid home from that nightmare.

4. My opinion of the Felonious Five...

What they did to destroy American democracy in December 2000 is inexcusable. And even they know it, or else they would have retired sometime in the last 4 years to ensure their hand-picked "president" would hand-pick a conservative replacement.

I'd like to give them a grain of credit for holding out until a real election can be held, but they will never be able to atone for that day in December.

5. Today Assscroft can see who has had late term abortions, tomorrow

he'll be able to see everything.,.,.. We will lose many freedoms if Bush wins....

8. I think the only one who's shown any repentance at all is O'Connor.

I think the rest just aren't ready to retire yet. I suspect Rehnquist intends to die in his Chief Justice chair, and doesn't care how senile he gets in the meantime. And as for Scalia, who could Bush possibly find that's worse?

6. Justice Stephens deserves a break. He's in his 80s and..

hanging in there for us. God forbid he should die before we have a Democrat in office. Give the man a break before so that he can retire.

9. either we've been very lucky, or . . .

the justices closing in on retirement are intentionally waiting for Bush to leave office so he won't be able to appoint their successors . . . either way, the fact is that GWB has NOT had any Supreme Court appointments, and for this we should be immensely grateful . . .

if he gets four more years, however, this will all change, and we'll be stuck with the "Bush court" for, what, 30 or 40 years? . . . this is indeed THE most important reason to send the chimp packing in November . . . because the evil that he does in his second term will indeed live after him, probably for decades . . .
