One of the biggest fears I have of a Romney presidency is the Supreme Court. If he is elected he will appoint liberals to replace Scalia and Kennedy who will almost surely retire during a 4 or 8 year Romney administration. They would never retire during an Obama administration. Remember Clinton appointed NO SC Justices during his second term.

Romney’s liberal SC Justices will change the balance of the Court for 40 years into the future. Obama at most will replace Ginsburg with a liberal and will not change the court.

I’d rather live with four more years of Obama than have my kids live with 40 years of a liberal SC because of the liberal justices Romney will choose..


With all due respect, I am very curious to know what makes you say with seemingly certainty that Scalia and Kennedy would never retire if Obama is reelected? Yet they would surely if Romney is elected? If Romney turned out to be the Liberal Trojan Horse you believe him to be, why would they being the conservatives that they are retire under his rein and not Obama’s?

Also, why are you certain that Romney would nominate liberal justices to replace conservatives? Don’t you think the makeup of Congress could have a role in judge selection?

Mark Levin, a staunch conservative and Constitutional expert who leads Landmark Legal Foundation and has defended the Constitution and conservative principles in many lawsuits and worked in the Reagan administration, says to save the country, Romney (regardless of his imperfections) needs to win to save our country. Given Levin’s expertise and commitment to conservatism and our country, I tend to agree with him. If you doubt me, you can listen to his archived broadcasts online free of charge.

Scalia and Kennedy will retire during Republican administrations because they were appointed by Republicans and the history of the Court proves that fact to be generally true.

I look at the Justices he appointed in Massachusetts..75% of which we liberal.

I think Levin is wrong. I'll do what I think is right I am sure Mark will do likewise
