Not really happy with the choices for candidates, I'll never vote for a liberal progressive like Klinton or Sanders especially to their anti 2nd amendment stance.

But I'm not fond of republican choices either. However my vote now will be geared toward the replacement of Scalia rather than a new president and my vote will be toward preventing a liberal anti 2nd amendment judge from getting the job.

I was prepared to sit this next election out but now that is my mission.

It's likely the Grand Obstructionist Party's actions will motivate a great number of people who hadn't planned to vote to reconsider and vote against their decision to refuse to perform their Constitutional duty and honestly consider any choice.

I suspect the low end Democrats who rely on the Govt will be clueless about this issue.

It will bring out more of the conservative vote and probably sweep an R into the White House.

Do we want another Sonia Sotomayor? Some might, but many don't. I agree with you tho, this topic shouldn't be what makes someone vote. You can protest the choices with a write in vote, or vote for an independent. Ross Perot cost Bush I an election.

Obama has appointed two radical liberals to the court already, including a Hispanic racist who passionately supports illegal immigration and a radical liberal/feminist who tried to ban military recruiters from Harvard. The President and the Senate are supposed to come together to appoint a nominee. So you're saying if Obama keeps on appointing radical far left nutjobs, the Senate is obligated to allow it? Or maybe Obama needs to be more moderate in his choices.

Do second ammendment cases even make it to Supreme Court? Anyway, I have no need for another man who is still fighting homosexuality, interracial relationships, and demanding religion be in our schools.

Ross Perot cost CLinton a mandate, not Bush an election as Perot's positions were to the left of Clinton. There was an entire thread on this detailing the positions of all 2 candidates.

Ross took a lot of the middle of the road votes. Many believe that those votes would have gone to Bush. Regardless. That Independent made a strong showing against the 2 party system.
