While leaving the SC at eight means we will probably see, instead of 5-4 a number of 4-4 decisions and they will not be in the favor of a Conservative philosophy. Still, better that than letting Barack Hussein Obama appoint a SC judge.<br />Ron Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217389199007968254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-76746776562573895482016-02-14T09:58:29.598-08:002016-02-14T09:58:29.598-08:00I'm still reeling.I'm still reeling.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-81717205110415366562016-02-14T09:51:20.266-08:002016-02-14T09:51:20.266-08:00I read about his untimely passing last night.

His overwhelming intellect, his insightful questions, and his staunch defense of the Constitution all make him one of the most remarkable members of the Court throughout it's history. There is no doubt in my mind that the campaign to replace him on the Court will be one of the most important political issues of this century. Presidents come and go, but the actions of the Supreme Court last forever. I prey that we get this right, because if we don't the nation will be never be the same.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482185271178889753noreply@blogger.com
