I was troubled by a post that seemed misleading to me..I WAS going to make these points in the form of comments but it seems that THAT option has been removed..SO,, I chose to post instead..We’ll BEGIN with the comment below….

"Should Obama win the election should he be faced with this task he really doesn't have a chance of changing the political makeup of the court, but should McCain win he would have this advantage and that makes me wonder just what impact that kind of thing would have on us as a Nation."

WHERE does ANYONE get THIS Idea???

HOW can ANYONE POSSIBLY come to THIS assessment and conclusion???

There are FOUR FLAMMING LIBERAL Justices that Gave Terrorists’ UNPRECEDENTED Constitutional Rights,, Protections for Child Rapists and ALL voted to take your Second Amendment Rights AWAY while there were FOUR Stout American Conservative HEROS who OPPOSED the FIRST two Decisions and LOST and who,, in turn,, WON the third..And a Justice that LEANS to the LEFT ( Kennedy ) but realized that HE could have started an ARMED Revolution by voting against the Constitution and FOR the DC Gun Ban,, as he MOST likely WANTED to do.. The ONLY decision of these Liberals made that can Possibly be defended as POSSIBLY Constitutional is,, regrettably,, the one involving the Child Predator,, and even THAT can be argued either way..

So HOW can ANYONE say of the most LIBERAL person ( Obama ) in Congress,, "Should Obama win the election should he be faced with this task he really doesn't have a chance of changing the political makeup of the court ".???

Especially if there becomes ANOTHER vacancy on the Court other then Stevens and Ginsburg ..

And WHAT’S with THIS statement??

"I believe that there is a crucial need for a more balanced court if we expect there to be real justice applied to the cases "

The Supreme Court is NOT supposed to be Balanced.. it is not EVEN a FUNCTION of the Supreme Court to be Balanced.. It’s SUPPOSED to be CONSTITUTIONAL….PERIOD…

Also..Bear in mind that Supreme Courts are greatly INFLUENCED by the VERY NATURE of the cases brought before them and,, as was EVEN Mentioned in the Second Amendment decision above,, by the CLIMATE of the day....SO,, SHOULD Obama become President,, One can EXPECT an attempt to Further the Liberal Agenda by virtue of the LAWS that they pass and the CHALLENGES that they face through Judicial Review..

The FACT of the matter is that EITHER way,, There is an EQUAL likelyhood that the Makeup of the Supreme Court will be changed..THAT SEEMS UNAVOIDABLE….HOWEVER..As ALWAYS,, it is OUR decision to make,, come November,, exactly WHICH kind of Change is acceptable and which kind is NOT by deciding who it IS that WE trust to make the proper nominations..

And besides,,ALSO keep in mind,,

The CHANGE in makeup of the Supreme Court doesn’t necessarilly mean a CHANGE in the Constitution or the application of it..

Conservatives are dedicted to the Constitution AS IT IS WRITTEN while Liberals are dedicated to interpreting and reinventing the Constitution AS THEY WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE WRITTEN IT..

So,,While there is an equality to the prospect of change in the makeup of the Court the "impact that kind of thing would have on us as a Nation." Is FAR and Away MUCH Greater with a LIBERAL Court then it IS with a Conservative one…

( ANOTHER point to consider is that ONE of these Liberal Justices has made appearences on College Campuses and Cable TV News Programs and stated unabashedly that HE is NOT bound by the CONSTITUTION when Making HIS decisions..)

He has SPURNED the Constitution!!!!!

SO,, the question REALLY boils down to ONE Issue,,,

Is THIS the kind of Supreme Court that YOU really,, REALLY want????
