Was wondering when you guys (people on the right) would pick up the Supreme Court issue. You do realize it's a huge motivator for folks on the left to vote for Hillary. Actually for some it the only reason to vote for her. Not sure if the strength of gun control issue can trump the the strength of left's socail issues with the Supreme Court.

At the end, the Supreme Court is the excuse given to vote for Clinton but underneath it all its always economics. Will the Rust Belt vote for more of the same? If they switch, it is a Trump victory.

Yes, do folks want someone to further kill coal industry and nuclear power on science that is questionable. Economics over ride social issues for most folks.

Hillary will be appointing at least 4 justices. I hope she picks all women. Kinder, gentler and definitely smarter.

The supreme court appointments should be the least concern In voting. They ultimately weigh in on very few issues. The dems and Gop are using it as a fear monger tactic.

Really, that is my #1 reason for voting this year since I can't stand either candidate. Have you had your head in the sand

<y head is not in the sand. People who base there vote soley on what may or may not happen in the SC nominations do have their heads in the sand IMHO.

The supreme court affects our lives and beliefs. Are you for or against gay marriage, or you for or against abortion.....and so on. Maybe you don't care but I certainly do

Specifically The supreme court has only weighed in on a few "social" issues. I would ultimately call them wedge issues. Moreover, whatever ever they render on these issues can often ( as history as shown) be reversed.

This does not even take in to account that no matter who the POTUS recommends is still has to pass house muster.

On the list of issues on who to vote for the POTUS I Find this way down on the list.
