The Supreme Court Justices of the United States.
Something to think about for all you I-won't-vote-for-candidate-O or I-won't-vote-for-candidate-C so called progressives/liberals/democrats out there.
There is speculation that up to 3 justices will retire during the term of the next administration. That will in effect give the next POTUS, via his nominations for those seats, the ability to sway legal opinion and therefore law in either a progressive, positive, forward looking direction, OR a conservative, negative, restrictive, dare I say - fascist direction.
THINK ABOUT THAT: The next President of the United States will have the ability to set the legal agenda for the nation for years if not decades to come. And that could be the difference between saving the Constitution or trashing it and our civil liberties for ever.
Therefore I implore you to put aside your personal feelings and realize this coming election is bigger then any one pet peeve or indignation. Please, I'm asking you, think beyond the hurt you may feel and let's all, no matter who the nominee, work towards a Democratic victory in '08! And let's assure that it happens in such overwhelming margins that the entire world will stand up and take notice.
Future generations are counting on us. And that's no bullshi hyperbole.
