The people of the United States elected Barack Obama for two terms to represent them. By yours and any other logic, that means a majority of the "people" trusted him to appoint judges to the Supreme Court.
Technically not true.. The electoral college elects the president and that depends on which states have the most votes and how they use them.
But he is the President for another few months and we will have to see how it all plays out..
What bothers me most is that The justices should not have any political affiliation. It should be strictly based on law and not their own feelings that choose what should stand and what should be abolished.
The fact that we are concerned with the political party of the candidate to me means this branch is failing. They were meant to be the ones above politics to hold true to the constitution.
