In reply to the discussion: The single most important reason for Obama to be reelected [View all]Paka
(2,760 posts)I have a lot of reasons that I'm voting for Obama, but this is high on the list for sure. I grew up with a mother who ranted on about how FDR stacked the court with those crackpot liberals, but she would think this court was just dandy. She died at 97 in 2004, so never had the joy of calling herself a teabagger, but she formulated their platform long before they knew it was coming. Once I escaped that conservative cesspool I never looked back, and I shudder to think what a 7-2 court would mean.
Like you, Fla Dem, I'm in the last third of my life, but I cry when I see what is happening to my country. I hope you don't mind if I steal your post (giving you credit) to send to a couple of my more moderate relatives who might be wavering.
