the Republicans fear-mongering that Kennedy would defer to the Pope. All 5 justices who ruled in HL's favor are Catholics AND Republicans.

was called 'liberal judicial activism' and 'legislating from the bench.'

This court has been lousy since the Selection of 2000 and it continues to destroy the country. The GOP, the Libertarian part with CATO being funded by the Koch brothers, has taken over all branches of the federal government except the office of the POTUS. Obama has been standing in the way of this juggernaut, and has my respect for that in a dangerous era.

Why Nordquist supported Mittens:

All we have to do is replace Obama... We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget... We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate.

Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.

Think of all the ALEC boilerplate legislation that has hurt us in every state. They want to nationalize it so there's no escape. We are reduced to holding half of the Senate and Presidency. I expect all hell to break loose on the American people and the world if they take the Senate this year or the Presidency in 2016. They have not hidden their agenda, it's obvious that they are playing for keeps.

They've convinced two states to sign on with an Article 5 Constitutional Convention, allegedly to amend the Constitution to stop further damage from the Citizens United case.

But the main group seeking to amend to stop that USSC obscenity, does not call for an Article 5 Convention, but only that one amendment. But the Koch brothers will get their way if enough states with red legislatures sign up for it.

Once open for revision, the Koch brothers and the theocrats will re-write the Constitution to suit them. Ryan has been promising his supporters for a long time and encouraging them to turn at least 38 state legislatures red. They will vote lock step to do what the Koch brothers want. Some will keep claiming there's no difference between the two parties, so I assume this is okay by them.
