With the passing of Justice Scalia I fear that we are in for political drama unlike any of us have ever seen before. The Democrats will be pushing Obama to make an appointment to the court, and he will be more than willing to oblige. Unfortunately , his choice will not be the Constitutional scholar that Scalia was. The Republican controlled Senate will delay the confirmation process until after a new president takes office next year.
For those of you that have taken the position of you don't want to get involved in politics , this would be a good time to have a change of heart.  If a Democrat is elected to the White House again, this court will be very left. Democratic appointments to the SCOTUS are not typically as Constitutionally grounded as the Republican appointees. What does this mean?
In the future when cases like gun control come before the court, the 2nd Amendment is likely to get butchered into a form that our founding fathers would not recognize. Our nation is moving farther and farther to the left. We are quickly becoming the type of nation that our founding fathers fled from to start anew here. The sad news is, those of us that wish to preserve the nation that our founding fathers started, have no where to flee to 4951

This is why voting is so important, even in the mid-term elections. This radical socialism is completely run amuck, and is far away from the "America" we once were. We need many years of a Republican administration and controlled congress to undo the damage from this yahoo and his Pelosi-type cronies. 4951

@donnatella: I disagree, we had 4 and a half years of Republican control of the House and Senate under GW Bush and what was accomplished? It was just as unproductive and wasteful as ever.  I believe in the old adage that absolute power corrupts absolutely, no party should control the entire system as others voices get drowned out.  IMHO the government works best when you have dedicated Americans serving who are willing to do what is best for the nation as a whole and work with the opposition to find common ground to solve our problems.

Oh but wait, one party has co tolled enough to put us in quite the mess with Nobama care that no one wanted. What did we hear from them "too bad we are in control." And to make things worse, they are exempt from it because they have a Cadillac plan of their own.
 
After that fiasco more and more Republicans are voted in with each election. American is sick of the corruption and the growing socialism on our own soil. 4951

No they're not. Look at how Bernie is taking off. He's an admitted socialist and the young people love him. Of course, the young don't know what socialism means, but hey FREE STUFF. Tax the rich, hurt corporations, increase household taxes and give government your money because WE will provide for you is what the young people actually believe.

Don't confuse the media with the democrats. It is the media that will scream for the drama, not the dems. The democrats know they will lose, and may cost them, solely on this issue, the presidency 4951

I can't help but to confuse the media with the democrats. The media spent years attacking, slanting, and "interpreting" Bush's actions for you. The only ounce of media support was immediately after 9/11. On the other hand, the way they portray nomorebama is fully supportive, nothing critical, and nothing in a negative light, with the rare exception of a few individuals on a few media outlets. 4951

So congress is in recess. Obama can appoint a judge while they are on recess. You would think congress would get their behinds back. 4951

@dac1842: And if the Dems win the White House again, Obama would move directly to the front of their list of nominees.  <shudders>

Actually socialism takes the charity out of giving. If you mandate giving, as in taxes, then there is no choice hence no charity.
