If HRC is nominated WITHOUT a primary challenge:

120. Says you!

Again, you are entitled to hold your views, but you're not convincing me. I don't want a Jeb Bush presidency.

The Supreme Court has the charge of interpreting the document upon which ALL our law is based. If lunatics are interpreting that document, you can take your pet issues and stick 'em where the sun don't shine, because the Supreme Court can sweep every concern you have to the side and turn you into a serf--and you'll have no recourse. That's where it all begins.

Most Supreme Court justices--who are in it for life--become MORE themselves, not less, once their appointments are cast in stone. They are more concerned about their legacies than anything else. Thus, a liberal will become more liberal, a conservative more conservative.

What we have to lose is the Presidency, and if Jeb Bush becomes President, he'll nominate justices who think Terri Schiavo should have stayed hooked up to machines, that it's OK to pollute the world because Jesus will get us out of any problems we create, and women do not have the right of choice, and gay people can't marry, and it's OK to pay women and minorities less than white males, because the Bible tells them so.

So, sorry--I'm not sold on your argument. The Supremes, to my mind, that's the Big Deal. We have to have our team picking those replacements. If not, the future could be dire.
