Why Mittens Would Be Horrible, Cont’d.
I have a follow-up to Jamelle’s piece talking about the various other ways Romney will be horrible. In particular, we’d be looking at a Supreme Court where Antonin Scalia would have to look to his right to see the median vote, with federal appeals courts to match. I also explain why you shouldn’t be fooled by guff about how Supreme Court justices are unpredictable. Justices chosen for ideological reasons are about as unpredictable as Bill Kristol, and post-Souter all Republican appointments will be made for ideological reasons.
