Bader-Ginsburg (at least, maybe others) is just waitingfor the outcome of the next election. The SCOTUS is too important to engage in whiz experiements.
Until the wind shifts, and then you don't get the reaction you predicted.
And the winds WILL shift at some point in time. There haven't always been republicans and democrats. And they won't be around forever. All it will take is for people to show the parties that they don't support what they are doing,and things will change. If I continue to vote for a candidate I don't support, the politicians have no reason to change.
You comparing politics to physical LAWS is just silly in my opinion, because political parties WILL change.
You're assumption that a vote for a third party is a vote for Obama is an assumption that I would vote for McCain if I didn't vote for a third party.
If my vote for Bob Barr is actually one vote for Obama, Does that mean if I actually vote for Obama directly, would that be 2 votes for Obama?
