The next president could appoint one or more Supreme Court justices. See what rulings are at stake this November.

This is why the election is so important. Mittens’ nominations will continue to favor big business and ignore the rights of individuals who don’t fit inside his worldview.

Mitt Romney

July 16, 2012
"Romney doesn’t buzz with anything. His vision of humanity is just a million tons of meat floating around in a sea of base calculations. He’s like a teenager who stays up all night thinking of a way to impress the prom queen, and what he comes up with is kicking a kid in a wheelchair. Instincts like those are probably what made him a great leveraged buyout specialist, but in a public figure? Man, is he a disaster. It’s really incredible theater, watching the Republicans talk themselves into this guy."

The Texas Republican 2012 platform, which officially opposes teaching students “critical thinking skills.”

So now we don’t want people to think for themselves! It’s undermining parenting! Education must stop! <sarcasm font>

&#8220;Walker&#8217;s win may change the way your state bargains with its employees. (And that may include you.) Tuesday&#8217;s result may embolden other governors to move against public employee unions. The Republican governor&#8217;s law curtailing collective bargaining for Wisconsin&#8217;s public employees had been the galvanizing issue behind the recall push. His dramatic win in this closely watched contest reverses the momentum of a vote held last fall in Ohio, repealing a similar law enacted in that state in 2011. That vote had big labor believing it could chop down the Walker tree, too — a major miscalculation.&#8221;
