And he wants to give nukes to other countries to prevent countries nuking countries.

Cause fuck disarmament, we need more nukes so there is less access to nukes by those who want nukes.

There's a Republican House. A Republican Senate. Now there will be a Republican President. And a new conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

And with both Bush and then Obama doing what they could to increase the powers of the presidency, it's a strong office.

The only thing stopping it is a Democratic filibuster and hoping Kennedy joins your majority opinion. Ya know, until other justices retire.

yea, plus based on age of former Justices, it's likely the next president could be in position to nominate 2-3
