Obama needs to be re-elected for one important reason.
Supreme Court justices. How long do the fascist 5 have left?

2. Too bad that more who ordinarily would have voted for the Democrat
didn't understand this concept in the 2000 presidential election. Our current history would likely have been much different. That is, unless we were to admit that we are powerless to stop the omnipotent right wing machine.

3. Tom Hartmenn was saying that SAME thing! Kennedy is getting
old, Ginsberg is in her 70's & allready had one bout with cancer, Scaia is in his 70's. Most likely at least one if not 2 or 3 will be retiring or dead within next six years. God forbid the Pubs have the chance to place any more on the SCOTUS!

6. How about we pass an age limit to be a justice
lets face it, once you hit a certain age, which ever side you are on, you are really starting drift away from what the american people want. Lets make the age limited 70, how many nominations would he get then? I'm guessing the entire court would be left swinging.

7. None of the five will retire before the end of his second term.
He will only be able to keep the status quo. Which will last for decades.

The corporatists would be a minority if not for the five, the Florida cheaters, and Ralph Nader.

He must be reelected to keep them from growing to six or seven.

8. Same thing could happen if we voted in Feingold/Grayson.
With a lot more benefits for those of us furious over the Geithner, Taylor, Velsick, and other Appointments that keep our economy shackled to the needs of the Big Corporations.

I mena, haven't we handed over enough of our economy over to AIG/Goldman Sachs, and to Monsanto?

12. A Democrat, no matter who the nominee is, has to be elected President for this reason.
