I don't fault the conclusion people draw. My concern is whether the data and ramifications are being properly weighed.

I absolutely appreciate the points you raise in your two blogs regarding the election of a Mormon. As always, you bring to mind things well worth considering. You’ve given me reason to pause and rethink.<br /><br />I won't argue that there would be a significant change in the near-term economic outlook whether Obama or Romney is elected. But my point was and is that the election of a President has an effect into the future far beyond the term they serve and the policies they advance, through the lifetime appointments of Justices to the SC. (2 current SC Justices were appointed by Ronald Reagan.) I was simply pointing out that although no man knows for sure who either would appoint in the future, Obama, if re-elected, could very well shift the balance of the Court to one that is decidedly ‘liberal’, given the two appointments he’s already made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24271776.post-69670512052310584272012-09-04T11:28:35.469-04:002012-09-04T11:28:35.469-04:00That's a fear card we've bought into.

In any case, conservative evangelicals have settled for inferior candidates for so long that the GOP can now unashamedly offer a moderate anti Christ and people will buy the product. So much for accepting the party's candidate in the spirit of slowing down the demise. <br /><br />Why do you suppose that the GOP candidates get worse and worse, lock step with the democratic party's candidate? It is because suckers like us accept them for frothy reasons like SC justices. Both parties are of the same hypocrisy and slouching toward Gomorrah.

President Obama has already made two ‘liberal’ appointments to the USSC. There is a very real possibility that the winner of the 2012 Presidential election will nominate as few as 1 and as many as 3 Justices. Remember, Justice Ginsberg is 79 years old and in failing health, while Justices Kennedy and Scalia are 76 years old.

Even to the contrary, I think that some with a "GOP or bust" mindset have begun to pause to reconsider some things. Whether they actually abstain from voting for Romney is another matter.
