Reply #66: All I can say is "Wow" [View All]

I never would've thought that a Supreme Court Justice was capable of something this pathetic. Then, sadly, I remembered that 4 guys on this court gave Bush the election in 2000, so I guess it was naive of me to think otherwise.

Right now, everyone is focusing very hard on how well he selects his Cabinet. Although these picks are important (especially in Treasury), the picks Obama makes for the Supreme Court are going to be huge. If he serves two terms, he could appoint several judges and completely shape the court for the next couple decades. The next big court issue coming: Gay marriage. In the next 10-15 years, a Gay marriage case will come to the Court, and if Obama has appointed enough of the right types of judges, the battle could end. Which would be good. Not to mention the many privacy issues that are going to be debated in the court in the coming years. And the various federal bench appointments he makes will be quite interesting as well. Could be a huge part of his legacy.


(Side note: When are spell checkers going to stop highlighting "Obama" as a spelling error?)
