It’s a no-brainer
Everyone bickers back and forth about this issue or that one. The reality of it all is that Congress controls what happens more than the president. Sure, he can push for an agenda and has the final say with a pen stroke, but without congress the president sits at an empty desk. He just can’t “executive order” everything, at least not for long without being tossed out on his ear.
The most important aspect of the next president will be selecting members of the Supreme Court. Your selection for president needs to put a lot of weight on what you want in the SCOTUS. A judge needs to be someone who goes by the letter of the law without introducing emotion into the case.
How you feel as a judge does not change the U.S. Constitution. An appointment or two by the next president will be lifetime appointments. They will affect this country long after either candidate is gone.
Obama wants touchy-feely SCOTUS’... Romney would select a person who will abide by the law. It’s a no- brainer, don’t throw away the (should be) treasured Constitution. Vote Romney.
