The Supreme Court

There is only one choice!

I just finished a quick search of the forum and found you have already discussed this topic at length before. That being said, and taking a page from the right wing playbook, I think that we as liberals need to keep hammering this home to each other. For us to give the next administration over to the repubs would most certainly mean losing the court over to the right for the rest of our lives! I have often thought that if it weren't for abortion the right would never win an election and that it might be best for Roe vs Wade to be struck down. But this is about so much more than just that, think about how far this could escalate. It could very well mean that we no longer have the right to decide anything about our own bodies. Terminally ill and don't want to do chemo and radiation, not your choice. God wants you to live every minute you possibly can. Big corporations would have nothing to fear becouse they would know that any judgement against them will be overturned in the end. We the people would have no hope of justice for us. I am sure that certain people in this forum will say I should have just stuck with commmenting in the previous posts, but I believe that keeping a post like this on top is in plain view is paramount. I also do not want to hijack every post and always turn good threads away from their intent. As for me, I could care less if Hillary is a bitch or if Obama is all fluff, come November either one needs the support of every reasonable person we can muster!

I feel forced to vote for Hillary if it comes down to it. I'll hold my nose and probably shower several times afterward (yes, I'm incredibly disgusted with her as a candidate), but I'll do it.

If anyone disagrees that we have to vote Dem this year, they need to watch this again.

Thanks, IHNB, for that link. I think.

I have discussed this with other Young Turks members also. I do not understand how someone can say that they will vote for McCain if their candidate wins. I can't stand Hillary Clinton and am a big Obama supporter, but I'll vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination. Just the Supreme Court alone is enough reason for me. There is just too much at stake. What's left of the liberal judges are getting old in the tooth and they are holding on for dear life waiting for Bush to be over. Notice how Bush picked a really young guy to be Chief Justice? He will do the same with the remaining judges if he gets the chance. If we lose just ONE MORE judge, we are in deep shit. Say goodbye to Roe v. Wade. Say goodbye to Habeus Corpus. Say goodbye to individual over corporate rights. Us dems better wake up. Destroying the party is not worth it. Before you say "I don't  think I could vote for Hillary if Obama wins or vice-versa, take a look at the Supreme Court and think again.
