If we give him a MANDATE, he'd better USE IT.

42. + 1000. This is the exact correct approach in our government. Slow and steady

wins the day otherwise there'll be a Republican president after 2016, and he, like GWBush, can undo a lot before it can take effect to the point people will "feel it".

Also, Scalia and Kennedy are "only" around 80 and still pretty much going strong. I know Justice Ginsberg will retire in President Obama's second term, but those two just might hold out for a Republican president, so we need to ensure there won't be one anytime soon until those two step off the bench and retire.

We need to keep the Senate and House, and we need to do away with the filibuster in the Senate (just like the House did). I know a lot of people would balk at that idea, arguing that there's the possibility that the Senate will return to Republican control in the near future, but that's just the price the American people will have to pay for voting for Republicans. Democrats won't abuse the filibuster rule the way the senate Republicans have, so the rule should go.
