But it is not just the Executive Branch that is on the line—our Supreme Court is also at stake. The next president could potentially seat three, possibly even four, justices, which would dramatically swing the balance of power, since many decisions now are handed down 5-4.
Right now, the Court looks like this:
- Ruth Bader Ginsberg, age 79, tenure 19 years, politically LIBERAL
- Antonin Scalia, age 76, tenure 25 years, politically CONSERVATIVE
- Anthony Kennedy, age 76, tenure 24 years, politically CONSERVATIVE
- Stephen Breyer, age 74, tenure 18 years, politically LIBERAL
- Clarence Thomas, age 64, tenure 20 years, politically CONSERVATIVE
- Samuel Alito, age 62, tenure 6 years, politically CONSERVATIVE
- Sonia Sotomayor, age 58, tenure 3 years, politically LIBERAL
- Chief Justice John Roberts, age 57, tenure 6 years, politically CONSERVATIVE
- Elena Kagan, age 52, tenure 2 years, politically LIBERAL
The average age of retirement for Supreme Court Justices is 78.7 years.
If Barack Obama is re-elected, we can expect him to seat more justices sympathetic to his horrific healthcare act, or illegal immigration, or those who agree with his actions to turn America into a police state.
Conservative Daily is fighting for leaders who govern by our Constitution, no matter their political affiliation. Every day, we are committed to blocking President Obama’s dictatorial actions against our Founding principles. We send thousands and thousands of faxes each month to Congress, influencing policy decisions that have the potential to take our nation forward into prosperity or backward into the trash bin. With your help, we can bring the government back to “We, the People.”
We are so grateful for your help. When you share articles with your friends and family through our website or social media, when you get involved in discussions, when you fax Congress, you are the very best of America. You are the reason this country is the greatest in the world, and the reason we will be able to save it from Obama’s socialist ideology.
That is why we are asking for your help to keep this fight alive. Obama has launched attacks on some of our most sacred Amendments, specifically the First, Second and Fourth — and that has been just in his first four years. He is issuing Executive Orders from the White House and bypassing our elected representatives. He is damaging America’s foreign policy and making our citizens and soldiers less safe.
If he is re-elected in three weeks, he will have four more years to damage the country, and he could irreversibly damage it from within by changing the political balance of the Supreme Court.
He doesn’t much care for our Constitution, so you can bet he would seat Justices who feel the same and legislate from the bench.
National security, privacy issues, illegal immigration, healthcare, voting rights, social issues, affirmative action … these are just some of the issues our Court is dealing with, or will likely deal with, during the next four years. And of course we cannot even begin to speculate what cases will come before them in the next decade or two.
The work can’t stop now. The future of America depends on us.
Please, help Conservative Daily save conservatism, our Constitution, and our country.
Sincerely,
Tony Adkins
