Remember the Supremes

When Obama's giving his "more of the same" laundry list to argue that McCain will just continue Bush's policies--as he did in the interview with KO tonight--he should remember to say "more of the same kind of nominees to the Supreme Court." McCain has openly proclaimed this, yet for some reason Obama rarely mentions it. Yet, talk about energizing your base!

Hillary for the Supreme Court

While I'm not the first to suggest this, Senator Clinton, with a remarkable and admirable career in law and a unique perspective on the federal government, would be perfect to fill any vacant seat on the Supreme Court.

Play up pro-life extremism to the hilt

Force McCain to declare how far he's willing to go in defense of life. Why did he pick a running mate who beleives a woman should not have the right to choose even in the case of rape and incest. Emphasize that we are one supreme court justice away from undoing Roe vs. Wade!

the courts should be a key issue

With 3 of the supreme court justices older than John McCain i think that Senator Obama needs to pound the issue that the next president will determine the courts for the next generation.

Supreme Court

I believe that one of the main reasons Kerry lost the 2004 election was that he failed to emphasize how many supreme court justices were planning to retire within the next Presidential term. The same situation is happening again where two or three supreme court justices may be retiring during the next term. These are lifetime appointments on our nation's highest court.

Issue of Supreme Court Justices

I think Senator Obama needs to bring up the issue of supreme court justices. Several experts have stated that the next president could potentially name 3 supreme court justices during his time in office, thus shaping the political and legal landscape long after he is gone.

Announce his top choice for the Supreme Court

Obama could announce his top choice for Supreme Court so Americans would know before he's elected what sort of choices he will make, what sort of judges he will appoint. This will raise the issue of judges and remind Americans how close they are to losing their rights.

Speak out against censorship

A few things hit the news wires this past month that Senator Obama should address. First, an artist with a 2 day exhibit in New York City titled, “The Assassination of Hillary Clinton/The Assassination of Barack Obama,” was hauled off by police and Secret Service and questioned. The reasons they did it are scary, and show a negative precedent that free speech is being limited.
