First, allow me to say that I am not an admirer of either candidate. I never have been. My wife and I have two teenaged sons and, like you, we are aware that manners and good behavior are a reflection of character. That said, it is ironic that many of us now find ourselves in the position of choosing a president of the United States whose conduct we would not tolerate in our own family.

 

But choose we must, for this is the first election in our lifetimes that has virtually nothing to do with the “personality” who will serve as our president. This election is about the Supreme Court.

 

This time, forget everything else. Forget crimes that may have been committed. Forget any alleged sexual assault. Forget the possibility of treasonous acts, adultery, fraud, vindictiveness, and mean or childish behavior. Think only of the Supreme Court. For the first time in your life, you really are about to determine what this country will be like for the rest of your life. This is true, also, for the lives of your children and your children’s children.

 

As a people, we have not had a choice before us with more power to heal or destroy since the civil war. The United States of America is clearly about to move down one of two roads. No rhetoric can disguise either path. And once the Supreme Court is in place, no Congress or Senate can change that path.

 

This coming Tuesday, November 8, 2016, you and I will choose which of two people will become president. Soon after being inaugurated, that person will begin the process of selecting the person who will fill the vacant seat on the Supreme Court—the one who will tip the scales one way or the other. Laws will be upheld or overturned. New laws will be imposed or not. In either case, the way you are allowed to live will soon be determined by the Supreme Court. The court’s majority will be determined by the new president. But one thing is certain: after Tuesday, you will have no more say in the matter.

You feed the beast of what it loves: Delicious hyperbole.

 

The next president may choose as many as 3 justices, one ultra-conservative (Scalia) for sure and a few of one ultra-liberal (Ginsberg), one liberal (Breyer), and and one swing vote (Kennedy). Their appointees will play a role in the future of the country, but just a role. A vote for Hillary only really flips Scalia, who should have been flipped by Obama if the Senate had deigned to do its job.

 

Don't worry: The Constitution-respecting Senate are setting up both parties to not approve any nominee by any president based on the precedent of "nah nah boo boo we don't have to do anything."

Putting runes and a swastika armband on a black double-breasted jacket does not an SS jacket make. :lol:

 

Someone's desperate to make this meme true.
