The remarks about the power of the next president to determine the direction
of the Supreme Court for the next decade or two are particularly directed to
people who thought that a period of conservatism was needed to "balance the
liberalism of the past".  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?
