I believe you've stated in the past that you're a law student. If so then you must have been following the Heller case. You do realize that our 2nd amendment rights were upheld by a single person. Thats it. Had Kennedy gotten up on the wrong side of the bed, guns would be verboten.
Now McCain might not be a conservative dream, but both you and I know that he isn't going to be shopping at the ACLU for judicial appointments. And both you and I know that the court is what shapes this nation.
Odds are the next 2-3 justices that leave the court are the liberals. We have a chance to significantly alter the makeup of th ecourt and end these stupid decisions where Kennedy ping-pongs between the conservative and liberal wings.
As far as congress, you assume that republicans will have a large enough portion to fight the legislation thats proposed. I don't think thats a given at all. Its very likely that Obama will be given a filibuster proof majority in both houses.
