If the Supreme Court is changed, the "correction" will be installed as a permanent fixture, unalterably changing, for most of your lifetime and for a good deal of your childrens', the nature of civil liberties in the US. Do you really want to go back to the society of the 50's, with a social atmosphere that allowed McCarthyism to prosper? p. rowley, utcsrgv!peterr
