I believe that her point is the "win by losing" idea will not work as the left will use an Obamination election as a method to lock up their socialist agenda. They will stack the court and establish “rights” by judicial decree. These will be “positive” rights such as the right to health care, a job, a house, etc. Once the court decrees these rights, just like Roe vs Wade, there is no turning back.

So even if we do elect another “Reagan”, it will be too late. The point is a good one.


I know with the Supreme Court, we had a major victory with the 2nd Amendment, even though by one vote, but a victory is a victory. We could be close to overturning Roe vs. Wade. The Supreme Court is my #1 issue, a lot of the Justices are getting old, one of them has been there since I was a kid, others when I was in college. I'm 42 now. So we are in a shaky position.

Even with the present makeup of the court, the risk is very high that a “Roe v Wade” ruling for “Health Care as a right” is still very possible. We need 6-7 Constitutional judges to insure this does not happen.

The author of the article is right on, if these “rights” are established by judicial fiat, then they will exist infinitum. A showdown between the Judicial and Legislative branch would then be possible, but how many Congressman will have the fortitude to take Health Care away from the poor?
