The single most important reason for Obama to be reelected

47. yep

SCOTUS appointments have always dictated my choice for pres - for going on 40 years now. While as a lefty I've had many problems with the person I voted for, I've always thought it of paramount importance to keep the the court and us from being afflicted with lifetime appointments of rightwingers. AT worst all you're gonna get outta a dem pres, is rightwing-lite, which is much preferable to more kooks like the cons sitting on that bench now.

Others can complain about whether BHO's picks so far are "liberal" enough or not. I'll remain thankful they aren't shameless rightwingnuts.

It's bad enough that the ideological center line in DC generally has shifted so dramatically to the right. Putting more fascists/coporatists like Roberts or Scalito on the bench is the last thing this country needs.
