Once Obama takes office, he is going to replace all conservative judges at every level with liberal ones.

It is going to be a fiasco.

I'm not falling for your daftness this time, buddy.

Carry on!

You already did.

Better luck next time.

Of course the GOP is going to try and make him the most unpopular president in modern history. But how does the GOP reinvent itself? Will they once more shed their congressional leadership, or are they just going to keep doing the same ol' same ol'?

If he goes to the left there will be significant backlash in the congressional elections in 2 years. That is what Clinton did in his first two years and it led to the election of 1994. Clinton then moved to the middle and was reelected easily in 96.

I didn't clerk at all, let alone for an appellate court. Now I feel as though I can't do any thinking at all. On the bright side, I guess I know who I can ask to do some thinking for me. Does anyone have Levin's phone #?

Hey, it is a long climb to ownership.

Parties who own both sides inevitably end up with internal squabbling. I'm curious to see how this one pans out, given that Obama will likely make a terrible executive.

I still think it will be New Deal II, but you make good points. Let's hope for continued democrat incompetence!

stuff that just isn't going to happen, but plays well to the ignorant masses. Even if he tanks and only serves one term, he is set for life. Secret Service for he and his family for a good portion of their lives. Great retirement. Speaking fees. This presidency run is just a means to an end.......an end that will line his pockets with $$ for the rest of his life.

Between he and Pelosi and Reid's congress, you bet that group will enact a bunch of liberal policies. What is there to stop them?
