Whoever wins the election this fall may be in a position to radically change the ideological makeup of the Supreme Court, a legacy that far outlasts a four-year term. On Wednesday, the nine justices will hear oral arguments over whether and in what ways universities can use the race of applicants as a deciding factor in admissions.

Right, all conservatives can settle for is seriously embarrassing a liberal president.

Face it the liberals have won and as I said its a shame conservatives will vote for any liberal, any place, any time...

My absentee ballot should be here today, I'm not going to vote for either liberal at the top, vote for conservatives down ticket, I’ll mail it in tonite and mourn the loss of the country...I'm seriously thinking this will be my last election as a voter and I'll take up watching sports, at least sports fans don't claim to hold any kind of principles.
