Great article in Mother Jones. It spells out what's at stake in November.

Basically the Iron Heel. Although the author makes it clear that predictions are often, WAY often, wrong.

But it's still a chilling read. Except probably to some of our less than Progressive DU'ers. For them it's probably Heaven.

1. What is at stake ??????

3 Supreme Court Justices and the direction of the Country for the next 30 years.

If that doesn't inspire the Senate races and the Presidential race, I do not know what would.

The rest of the campaign is small in comparrison in my view.

3. alot more than 30 years

3 Supreme Court Justices and the direction of the Country for the next 30 years.

Bulidng a body of right wing law and overturning things from the past could set the legal trend for alot longer than 30 years. Maybe up to a 100 years.
