Good, get involved.
If for nothing else but the supreme court appointees, we can't afford the likes of McCain/Palin.
Personally, I'd like to see this country move FORWARDS, not backwards, especially where personal rights are concerned.

I've started looking into it (trying to navigate the sea of Obama websites and to find out how things are organized here in Pittsburgh... being in PA we sure do get a lot of attention from both campaigns). I think it would be fun to work for the Obama campaign somehow a little bit too. I've never done anything like join a campaign officially before.

Yes, we realize it Jess. But we also remember the Court justices appointed during President Bush's reign. It seems often times Congress is willing to side with the choice of the President rather than going through the whole rigamaroll of not approving him or her and then quarreling with the president about it. I think they figure it's just easier to go ahead and put them on through. They'd probably lose in the long run anyhow. :-\
It doesn't always turn out that way, but it seems to happen often enough.

they are saying this next Congress will be so Democrat that they will be filibuster proof. That is a good sign for getting legislation passed!

That's the exact quote David, from Torch Song Trilogy. That play/movie changed my life....

I'm glad you aren't worried .
I am.
Call me a crazy leftist (although I'm not really, in fact, quite conservative in some ways), but I've seen such things in elections the last decade I'd have sworn could never happen here, including fraud in our presidential elections, including a judgement from the supreme court, out of their jurisdiction
.
I'm a cynic I guess.
I don't need more justices on the supreme court who erode our constitution, personal/civil liberties and rights.
jmo.
