As I said, the SCOTUS is one appointment away from MAJOR changes in our laws. McCain has sold every principle he's ever had (compare Senator McCain's positions to Candidate McCain's postions) to win the nomination. When it comes to appointing judges at all levels, but especially SCOTUS, he will appoint pro-life judges. That will mean lower court ruling will quickly pass up to the SCOTUS and you could see your right to choose eliminated. It could already happen. I'm not sure why you think you're so safe from the judicial branch but keep in mind that Justices are appointed for life and are accountable to nobody. There is no downside for any ruling they might choose to make (for them). And don't think that Roe v. Wade need be overturned. They could easily thread that needle by only allowing choice in cases of rape and incest. Thus far we've been lucky that split decisions have saved our civil liberties; but we're one appointment away from losing those too. And my point was, tax bills are had to pass while judicial appointments are easy to make and tough to turn down. That is, a President has WAY more immediate impact on judicial branch of gov't than he/she does on the legislative. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:268645 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
