SCOTUS Run Amok

Is the issue really this simple?  Yes, it is.

The first sentence-"In the past four years, under the leadership of Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court has made it far easier to buy an election and far harder to vote in one."

The last sentence-" A country that expands the rights of the powerful to dominate the political process but does not protect fundament rights for all citizens doesn’t sound much like a functioning democracy to me."

Scary.

It would be scarier if not for the definite possibility that Hillary will serve eight years following Obama, thus providing an excellent opportunity to replace one or more Republican leaning justices.  Scalia is 78 years old.  Considering that he is not the healthiest looking 78, it is extremely unlikely he will last on the bench another ten years.  Kennedy is a few months behind him.  On the left side of things is Ginsburg, who at age 81 might want to consider retiring while Obama still has a chance to name a replacement, just in case Hillary does not win.
