So much is at stake with this election. While we have concentrated on President Obama’s re-election we haven’t discussed the possibilities regarding a MORE CONSERVATIVE SUPREME COURT with a Romney Presidency.
If Romney were to win, we’d want to look at both the policy front as well as the judicial appointments possibilities. Here are some of the consequences of a MORE CONSERVATIVE SUPREME COURT:
• Could uphold onerous restrictions on a woman’s right to choose and otherwise limit her reproductive freedom – even overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade.
• Would not overturn Citizens United.
• Could be open to pre-New Deal interpretations of the Commerce Clause, which would dramatically restrict Congress’ ability to confront national problems.
• Might permit corporations to attempt to influence judicial decisions that could impact their bottom line.
• Likely to dramatically restrict efforts by Congress to remedy past discrimination in voting and elsewhere.
• Likely threaten diversity in higher education.
• Could not only stand in the way of full equality for the LGBT community but might also limit (or eliminate) the privacy rights of adults.
• Could turn back the clock on protections for people in police custody, and make it easier to establish a surveillance state.
• Could sanction the death penalty to be used on children and for
Could sanction the death penalty to be used on children and for a wider array of crimes, as well as on the mentally disabled.
• Would likely be much more deferential to presidential action in national security matters.
• Could weaken the separation of church and state and entangle religion and politics.”
