vote? Souter was an anomaly. The last justices appointed have all voted the way their president wanted them to vote.


I do not agree with everything Obama does. I think he has earned a solid F in dealing with equal rights (because he hasn't dealt with them at all), I think his environmental record is mixed at best and I think he wasted a good portion of his first year in office trying to make nice. But, I do not believe that these failings are enough for me to not vote Democratic. I was too young to vote for Gore, but I remember the "Oh, they're the same!" meme that was quite popular then. Well, that turned out to be a whole lot of bullshit and that is a lesson I won't soon forget.
