Last week, while upholding ObamaCare, the Supreme Court issued rulings in four other cases, overturning a total of 32 state and federal statutes. The significance of the other cases may have been lost in the glare of the ObamaCare decision. The other cases portray a Court quite ready to — in President Obama’s famous words — “somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law.” Taken together, the four cases are a study in judicial activism.

...and here everyone thought that the Supreme Court would actually do some good this year...

Nope. Instead they added fuel to the fire and laughed while the constitution and country burned...

How about those justices appointed by Repubs (Roberts) Both Bushes seemed to have given us crap.
Kind of makes one wonder about the argument that we need to elect Willard (or McCain) for the SCOTUS.

We need to elect Romney to stop totalitarianism.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

We all know, pretty well, how we got here (sad state of affairs that it is); however, if we don't elect Romney we shall have set Hell on earth loose.

I hope and pray to God that I don't wake up on Nov. 7th and find this country re-elected the man who intends to preside over our decline and destruction.  Waking up to the USSC ruling on Obamacare was bad enough; I don't think I'll be able to take it.

True...and i've become quite selfish. I need a few more good years. Everything paid. Then screw everyone. Half the place deserves obama and the other half better be ready to squash the freeloaders.
I'm not always engulfed in scandals, but when I am, I make sure I blame others.

I hear ya Charles. I guess my point is that the idea that Mitt Romney is the bulwark against hell on earth does not fill me with confidence or hope.

Agree 100%, but one must prepare for the worst while we work and pray for a better result, it sucks but there it is.

Does tapping Condi as Veep help or hurt that confidence?  I tend toward the latter.

Honestly, if Rice is the choice, I feel that it would be a safe, predictable, uninspiring, calculated decision. I think he could do a hell of a lot worse, and quite a bit better.
