I could be wrong but isn't that Obama's strength, constitutional law?

And Lynda, I'm sorry, I never answered your question on the Obama thread, I just got buried for a few days. I'd like to clarify something, though. I am not sure we gain anything in terms of "good will" from other counties if we do elect Obama. I was asking if people think there *might* be. I know as a kid my Irish Catholic family was as proud of Jack Kennedy as if he was born to us. I just can't help but wonder if there is something to be gained in what will surely be perceived as something different than business as usual.

The other thing you said, and if I'm wrong do please correct me because I'm that buried, I can't even find the original thread now, the other thing is that I think we didn't agree on was my use of "we". By this I meant the U.S. as a country, doing badly. If that is correct, than I strongly disagree with you. We have met the real enemy, and it is us.

When selecting or advocating for or against a judicial

Though everyone has bias, ideally the votes that a
person might make in a legislature or their written
opinions are not what is important. What is important
is whether that person would review any issue in
relation to the constitution, legislation, and
judicial precedence.
Will the future president use that criteria when
making judicial appointments?
